Monty Python's - The Life of Brian does rather sum this up and remains the best 'funny' film ever made. Not because it pokes fun at Jesus but that is so accurate in poking fun at our need to follow and the things those followers will do.

Here ya go, Roger:

"BRIAN:
    Look. You've got it all wrong.
    You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves. You're all individuals!
FOLLOWERS:
    Yes, we're all individuals!
BRIAN:
    You're all different!
FOLLOWERS:
    Yes, we are all different!
DENNIS:
    I'm not.
ARTHUR:
    Shhhh.
FOLLOWERS:
    Shh. Shhhh. Shhh.
BRIAN:
    You've all got to work it out for yourselves!
FOLLOWERS:
    Yes! We've got to work it out for ourselves!
BRIAN:
    Exactly!"
