P.S. you can't change the world.

I equate their particular brand of Christianity to doing heroin. Life just feels too meaningless without it and if you feel you're constantly treated unfairly it's even better. It's a drug that has the ability to make you feel good temporarily (3 weekly services plus extras), making the world feel "balanced", but if you don't have continuous inoculations, you start to see your reality for what it is. Until one day it kills you and/or someone else.
For many of the christians I personally know - it's just an excuse disguised as godliness to be the loser they always were.
From my experiences and what I know, a "church" creates a strong bondage between man and it (i.e. the building), you know, the way a pilgrim regards a "holy site". They (i.e. pastor, then every attendee) use words for it such as "The House of God", "The House of the Lord" to infest in their minds the greatness and utter importance of attending, every time. They also say that "God is among us", and stress that God can be found only in the church, among them (not with these words, but this is how it is strongly suggested). The "church" creates mental chains in a man's mind, so that he becomes a prisoner & slave of the "church" and comes to care very much about the opinion of the people in the church to how he is - i.e. if he is regarded as having heretical views or as doing things that the "church" forbids, which makes the mob look ugly at him, then he does everything he thinks he must in order to be according to the mob's will and views (which he understands as God's will and the Truth). And the people of the mob are called "saints" in the church (i.e. they call themselves saints). Even if he comes to see the hypocrisy and stupidity and blindly trusting of the pastor of the mob, along with all the other things, there is still a strong chain (mental chain) that makes him attend the church again, and again and to give importance to how the people in the church see him. Years need to pass for that to go away.
The fact is: the longer he 'lived' in the "church", the harder it will be for him to get out (even to impossibility, after a number of years and an age). And the greatest horror is that the children that are born in such families are forced since little, all the doctrines and beliefs and are put the chains on their minds (even by force and violence), which makes it much harder for them to get out. Instead, they spread the disease to their descendants, so the madness never goes away.
