So you're a member of a "secret" society that welcomes members who are willing to fleece believers?
That's one way of looking at it if you don't account for the fact that the most common reason for which these folks join the society is because their personal integrity is at odds with continuing the facade. Most of these people have spouses and children depending on their income for their very subsistence. Summarily quitting their job just because it has gotten uncomfortable for them to do it would be entirely selfish. It's a tormenting conflict and I personally find your flippant characterization of the very real emotional turmoil these people endure quite offensive.
The Clergy Project provides assistance to such people, helping them find the resources, training and support to transition gracefully out of a livelihood their personal sense of integrity deems inappropriate. Most of them, like I did, got into the profession out of a deep commitment to do what was right.
Not every clergy member who becomes skeptical joins this group. Truth be known there are probably lots of clergy out there who
never believed any of the BS they were taught in Sunday School. But of those who entered the profession as believers I would dare say there are some who grew skeptical and decided to continue "fleecing" and are not at all bothered by guilt. At that point it can become very similar to being a politician. Or a shady used car salesman.
