some people are followers and it's easier for them to believe in something that someone else tells them to be true rather than forming an opinion of their own based on fact and reason.

The first documented version of the bible was written some 400 years after the death of Christ, by many different people and came from verbal information passed on to them from those that had come before. Try describing an incedent to several different people and have them tell several different people over the course of a few weeks. Then compare the details of the incedent the way you had originally told it to the way the last person that was told had interpreted it and see how each version will vary from one another. So if over the course of a few weeks the details of an incedent are distorted imagine how acurate, or should I say inacurate they would be after several hundred years.
