That would mean I can't go to the place of worship, I may not be able to read the religious text and I have free will taken away from me. The 'lesser of two evils' is to prevent me from being kidnapped. The deity demonstrates its existence, I have my free will preserved  and a person(s) is prevented from committing a sin. It's a win for everyone involved.
Well, theoretically you have gone your whole life without being kidnapped so by your own criteria some God has been protecting you.  Have you been showing your devotion to some deity?
