Not that the god described in the Christian bible seems like much of a leader. More of a third world dictator.

I agree. They are in a position of trust.

Tell that to pedophile priests and the Pope who protects them thanks to our legal system allowing perpetrators to buy their way out of justice so that they can move to their next victims.

To see the vast number of times that happens, watch the movie Spotlight.

That is a part of it for sure but does not explain how they can adore a genocidal son murdering God.

That has to take more than confirmation bias.

I blame our tribal natures and peer pressure more.
