The point is, that people who have nothing to lose except their lives, 
are not controllable politically. If you give them something to lose 
beyond that - their immortal souls - and tell them if they go against 
the particular political institution you put in place to control them as 
slaves - the church, they will lose even that,  then they may just be 
stupid enough to go along with the fiction.

Christianity offers two things to slaves: It makes them feel self 
important, and it tells them that if they are good little slaves, they 
will be equal to the highest in the land - possibly more than equal.

Cui Bono?

The slavemasters and priests, of course.

Robbo is just a good little member of the Church of Latter Day Slaves, 
that's all.

The thought that he is an unimportant person, and will always be that 
way, and that no one, not even God, actually gives a toss about him, and 
once he is dead they will care even less, is so unappealing to his ego, 
that he cannot bear to even consider the possibility it is true. It 
takes great courage to be an Atheist, courage and humility. Robbo has 
neither.

All he has is his Faith. Remove that and he has nothing.
