The Church Business

All religions are businesses and they compete among one-another for clients (the gullible* and the credulous *). I was once given a flyer (issued by her church) from a Christian friend of mine in which it says that New Age is proclaimed an  enemy. It is not an enemy per se. It's a competitor for that church ---its a perceived  enemy by that and for that particular church. Religions and Political Parties all resort to similar tactics for support and for recruiting (proselytizing) members. That is the reason  why a-theists are also  regarded as an enemy - lost business not lost souls!!!

* Wikipedia:Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence.
