Peace,
The Earth and I built about this last night and she offered me a different perspective. She agreed that fear was a motivating factor but that fear of change was a big one. We already know that Christianity in America was weaponized to keep black people in check. Because of socialization, Christianity is all many people know. People throughout history have shown and proven how hard it is to change..... even when there's good evidence that change is necessary.
We're asking for a lot when we tell people to leave all they know (Christianity) for the unknown (no religion, ATR, etc.). Only a small percentage of the population will muster the strength to challenge their only experience.
