That's because of the opportunistic religious people: as long as there are people making money on religion, the religion will exist because they'll do whatever they can to deceive people in order to buy their shit or just give them money
video:




That's why I always say "Get rid of money, build your society like Star Trek TNG and you won't have religion anymore, and also you won't have astrology, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, alchemy."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There was also that story that The Beatles had a session with (I think) Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and they were meditating, or something like that, when Maharishi Mahesh Yogi told Lennon how material things don't matter and Lennon said something like "Then why are you taking my money?"

McCartney once gave an interview in which pointed out the the Beatles were not (and never claimed to be) anti-materialistic. ‘Sometimes, we’d get together and John would say, “Today, let’s write a swimming pool.”

Just as priests, pastors, gurus, and swamis were also never anti-materialistic. Sure, they say to their sheep that material things don't matter while they themselves ride in new and frequently expensive cars, live in palaces, etc.

Or just as Christan movies preach materialism. For instance in "Saving Christmas" we learn that Christmas must be about materialism because Jesus had a body made of matter, or that presents under the Christmas Tree are there to represent the city of Bethlehem built by God
