They generally haven't read a bible in many years, if ever, and the versions they have are adulterated crap like the NIV or worse. The sermons their preachers give are ten or fifteen minutes, maybe twenty tops, and generally don't focus on scripture or biblical teachings of any kind. Instead, they are full of generic feel-good sentiments (love is love!), long-winded personal anecdotes, wokeisms, and suchlike.
If they can't be bothered to sing the hymns and everyone just kind of mumbles along, rather than address the issue that they aren't really celebrating jack shit, they hire singers to fill out their choir ranks and make it feel like everyone is singing hymns.

After the printing press was invented, the great hope was that even the poorest among us would've read the Bible and be protected from deception by the church, the government, and false prophets.
It is up to us to read it for ourselves and to call out other people when they lie about what is inside.
