I would have added something about, what's to be made of the fact that religions are so exclusionary and elitist and favor in-group members, which does offer incentives (monetary and social) to stay in? Pretty fucked up kind of system to be supporting or belonging to, at least in the eyes of an outsider. I'd ask if there's any defense of that but I doubt it'll be coherent.

We can start with you making your question more coherent. 

... Oh wait, you didn't ask a question. NVM.
