Hell, it seems that's the whole point of being a christian in America, at least. Strokes your ego, gives you a whole group of people to look down on (with plenty of company, BTW) and you have to do or sacrifice absolutely nothing. It's like getting a handjob and being told, "Oooh, this is the biggest dick I've ever seen!"
"The last superstition of the human mind is the superstition that religion in itself is a good thing." - Samuel Porter Putnam
