The purpose of 'the church', in any form, is to collect tax free donations. They appoint someone to quote their book and put on a show so you feel you get something for your coin. It has further become a competition as to who is 'best dressed' and they keep track of who doesn't participate to shame or bully you for not conforming or not contributing. It is a total waste of time, effort, and money, but they teach children at a young age to be defensive about this sad ritual.
