Even nowadays we can see all the negative aspects that people accepts as a given of human nature. All the while their intuition telling them there is something "wrong" in that picture.
Why are they behaving as such?
It's because they're identifying themselves with things that they're not.
Something is true just because my holy book said so, my priest / imam said so, my prophet said so, my god said so, my alien said so, my channeler said so, my political figure said so, this is also known as herd mentality.
There is no fast solution to this, yet the lasting solution will be "Individual Empowerment".
You are not your religion, you are not your holy book, your are not your Imam / Priest, you are not your church, mosque, temple, alien, chaneler, political figure etc..
Make them 'experience things' which can lead them to the path of finding who they really are.
Again telling them directly 'what is true' will not help on 'individual empowerment' as it will only cause them to adopt yet the same attitude of 'something is true because you said so'. Don't give the answer, let them seek the answer themselves, show them only the path. Then they can answer confidently that "This is true because I know it myself, I experienced it myself, I seek it myself, I found the answer myself".
