What you're talking about is really an indictment of all religions, given 
that religion is by its very definition an acceptance of "faith" and an 
abandoment of critical thinking.  I have no problem with that definition.  I 
also have little problem with religion if it comforts people by doing 
positive things in their lives.

I have yet to find a religion that does not abandon critical thinking at 
some stage.  Even the so-called "scientific" religions such as Science of 
Mind, Rosicrucians, etc., abandon critical thinking by adopting a list of 
beliefs.  But a belief has to be changeable in order for the religion to be 
based on logic instead of faith.

But back to radio, I liked Family from a radio point of view.  Back from the 
early days when they had 3 production teams out on San Bruno Avenue in SF 
working on tapes to ship across the country to their affiliates to modern 
days when they've been operating networks and subnetworks and time zone 
feeds, the zeal they've had for broadcasting always impressed me.

I wish they'd change format, though.  Think of how much greatness Family 
Radio could have if they blanketed the nation with jazz...
