The practice of Christianity has not been immune from this common theme of religion. Many have preached and continue to preach a form of Christianity that includes a lot of what we expect in a religion. For example, there may be required activities and specific behaviors for desired blessings. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting denounced. There are some really warped ideas about promises for health and wealth. Some are even willing to speak for God. Of course, there is a lot more.
