To me it also seems like a regression into a child like state, where you give you up your own morals and careful criticism in favour of an authority figure who just does all your thinking for you. Maybe that is exactly what some people want. It's also the ultimate way to avoid responsibility for your actions, at least in your own eyes, because you're forgiven and all that crap.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
