Ok, but isn't this experienced by the minority of people in abusive situations? It seems most of them would still want to leave.
If a religion was abusing women and treating them like prisoners, while treating men like kings, it seems like more men would want to stay than women. Sure, I guess some women would develop SS, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough of them to make so many more women want to stay than men.
But we are also talking about the blackmail of eternal torture that is looming over everyone's head. So the stakes are believed to be much higher than an abusive relationship, and less temporal.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
