This. People get exploited all the time. Although some religious leaders are honest and forthright, others are no better than snake oil salesmen. It is difficult for anyone to tell those people apart at times. Throw in the fact that many people first seek out religion during times of crisis, and that many others just want answers handed to them on a plate (no thinking, please), and you have a situation that is ripe for all sorts of abuse.
