Why do traditional religions bring their music up to modern day lyrics and instruments? Not all of them do, but many have had success in doing so.

I am atheist AF, but I am not going to deny that many religions have had a massive amount of staying power because they do incorporate pieces of the world around them to influence them.

I mean, those televangelist didn't go "TV is satan, stay with books", hell no, they started their own shows and put up a 1-800-NUMBER for donations.

Some of the first groups that I know (outside of porn) that were doing online video streaming where churches.

And someone will tap into AI to evangelize and spread the message (while asking for more tithing and donations).

This is just how humans work.
