What was the question again?!
Well, the question was about someone who was aware of slavery, mind slavery that is, that wanted to be a part of it.
Your OP was a comparison of religion and being a slave of the Matrix and about how some people understand that they are in the Matrix while others think it is reality. In this sense, you are like a person that is aware of the Matrix but chooses to stay in it.
In other words, if you see religion as mind slavery, why do you label yourself a Christian?
