"...used to increase that faith's numbers and hence the power of those people that control that faith...."

We dont beleive in population myth because we have more faith in Gods command and God is All Powerful/has infinite power (he does not need support from others to become more powerful)

"...Blind obidence in today's world is not acceptable..."

We obey God after careful consideration (not blindly); however the same cannot be said about your believe in "Population Myth"
