People are just fine with authority in every other area of life so I struggle to see why they would have a problem with it when it comes to their faith. I think it's more that personal spirituality is simply less demanding. Christianity practically requires communal involvement and Bible study. This sounds silly but the frustration of having to actually do something - anything at all - as part of one's faith was depicted quite a lot in TV shows back in the day. The joke was that only a lazy lout like Homer would have a problem with this but then everyone became Homer.
