Then why is the "group" deciding whether to plant a church across town and pay for it?
If individuals are led to do so - they can present the idea to others and whoever wants to can join, giving time and money.
Once the "group" makes such a decision, there is a LOT of subtle group manipulation going on, conscious or not. That is ALSO "human nature".
