What fr0do ...like........

You will be vilified if you don't believe as your neighbours

You will be killed if you disagree with the group

You will have no social status within the group

You will have no access survival resources UNLESS you believe as the group believes

You will have no ability to reproduce UNLESS you believe as the group believes

You WILL be hounded down and persecuted and killed on the whim and fancy of the 'group'

There is no benefit other than social conformity to believing in the social deity.
