It is the unfortunate fact that the things churches and individuals practice today is not because of what the Bible says but because of pagan traditions. These are proven historical facts.
As the book introduction says "Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we “dress up” for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, and choirs? This ground-breaking book, now in affordable softcover, makes an unsettling proposal: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is rooted, not in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles".

Evangelical, the article you reference above concludes with the following:
Why Jews Don't Believe in Jesus.
Not a good source of information. Not at all.
In your judgmental mind, since most of the posters here are former members of the Local Church, you can only conclude that we all "
have left genuine Christianity for paganism." You have no idea how, what, why, or where we worship the Lord Jesus. You could care less. You condemn people indiscriminately without knowing anything about them.
This is the primary reason I left the local church. It is led by LSM, which is prideful, arrogant Laodicea, filled with know-it-alls who condemn every other church and child of God outside their little irrelevant sect. You are no different than the Exclusive Brethren, just a few years behind. You can't get along even with people just like yourself! Look at how many have been quarantined in the past decade. And, btw, there is no agape love in Laodicea.
Pride blinds people. Think about it.
