Well, we only medicate or incarcerate the people who do
bad things when the voices tell them to do so.
I'm not saying everyone hears an overt voice, although plenty do.
In general terms we're hardwired for any sort of gregarious behavior, which can only stand to reinforce the communal religious experience. We get a dopamine dump every time we stand around telling each other how wonderful the invisible guy in the sky is. As well as group athletic events and so on.
