Church Services Are Designed to Influence You. Here’s How

With an intuitive understanding of human psychology, churches design their services to manipulate your emotions. This is how they do it.

This video is based on my experience with protestant churches in the US, but the ritual-first format can be found in Mormon, Catholic, and Orthodox churches as well. Worship services are quite effective tools of emotional and psychological manipulation, leveraging group think and emotional priming to their benefit. For many former evangelicals (and others who have deconstructed), these services created a sense of guilt, shame, or worthlessness that kept them in church long after they knew it was time to leave. For Christians, they can simulate God’s presence convincingly. Christian rituals like these are so normalized in the US that their technique of influence isn’t thought of as manipulative or even unusual, and that needs to change. It's time to deconstruct church.
