People are actually of the opinion that a 2000 year old zombie comes to their bed sides and wakes them up int he morning and gives them a reason for living. It's just sad, especially when they impose that belief on someone else.
Imagine how far ahead humanity would have been if at the time of Galileo the church had said "Ok, you're right, the earth does rotate around the sun".
What did they do instead, "We are putting you in prison for your own safety because the masses hate the truth".
I warn that criticism of labels really should be gullibility based and not label based. Humans have always been superstitious.
