I also think the advertising as a kind of haunted house is to lure kids in with the idea of having fun; a blatant lie.

You're absolutely right, but I think that is the inevitable result of an ideology that says you are going to receive an eternity of punishment if you don't conform. If you believe others' eternal souls are at stake, the ends will always justify the means.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
