Powerful people love the status quo, and they're not going to give up that power without a fight. So they keep preaching hellfire, and killing apostates, and such.

From what I've heard, religion at large is on its way out in more modern countries, so in a way it isn't such a big deal anymore.

But why do everyday people care?
