They eventually get burned out or deceived that 'the church' is more important than anything else. Loyalty is to the 'pastor' more than the congregation from my observation and even less to Jesus.

Yes. Oh the system of things we humans find ourselves in! My my.
The devil basically doesn't care what system of things someone gives themselves to - sports, fashion, TV & movies, career, politics, partying, crime . . . but also good religion (e.g., Christianity) or (dare I say it!?) even family. Some systems may be more quickly destructive to a person, but in the end, if he can us into the dirt without us experiencing the living Christ, he's been successful!
