Playing "follow the leader" and "ritual" are comforting & have been for thousands of years. Why anyone worships in, around or at a money temple is beyond MY comprehension. If they are Christians, then their clearly purported "idol" - Jesus of Nazareth - wasn't in agreement with this kind of behavior. You'd find HIM(when alive)keeping company with the most ordinary of people, the lowest of all people; just hanging out there, being, walking the earth, sharing whatever life brought him on that day in terms of food and a place to lay the head that night, and he continuously tried teaching his followers to do the same. That the end result of all that HE began, this man named Jesus, turning worship that was as simple as the sharing of a meal, the sharing of company,into an absolute plethora of money temples, blindly following ritual rather than what HE taught them, would certainly, undoubtedly and totally piss him off.
So, in essence why anyone would want that kind of "religion" in their life is beyond me.

Prove God is real, and oh, btw define what you mean by the term "God."
