I don't see this as evidence of the contrary. Church attenders want to fit in with their peers at the church who are all doing the same thing. This is why there are so many hundreds of Christian sects, they are all trying to follow their local church's interpretation of the Bible. Individuals who read the Bible and come to even slightly different conclusions get kicked out of that church, so there is little incentive to read and think for one's self. Everyone is expected to read and come the same conclusions as their local leadership, or they will be browbeat and excommunicated.
