A big part of all of this is indoctrination of children. If you didn't introduce religion to children while they are at a vulnerable state, religion would quickly be relegated to a fringe cult.

The percentage of people that aren't flooded with this garbage as children that turn to religion once they are adults is miniscule and could easily be ignored.

The problem is that religion is so powerful and ingrained that they are able to sustain bombard children at a steady pace.
