More likely because they don't want the dolts to stop putting money in the collection plate. Religion was, is and always will be a lucrative scam... as long as there are enough morons to keep paying for its propagation.
Most humans get sold the religions of their parents as kids long before they can form adult critical thinking skills, so while I can agree there are plenty of religious people who deliberately con people, like Hinn, or L Ron Hubbard, I think for the most part most humans dont understand they started out life with a disadvantage.
There are people who know better but don't care, and their are people who genuinely believe what they are selling. I am quite sure many of the atheist here can tell you they would not have considered themselves scammers when they did believe.
