    I still think that the idea of the church and saints hasn’t gotten any worse: it’s “just” that the rest of the world has moved on when they haven’t

    That’s a very common way of an idea becoming worse: insisting on the same old delusion as the rest of the world moves on.

    Example: A geocentric universe didn’t seem like such a stupid idea a millennium or two ago, but nowadays where we know better, it’s known to be absolute nonsense that only the blindest fundamentalist honestly believes.
