Very few humans strive to actively shed bias, think critically and live by principles consistently applied across all situations. This is work. Shit, most people struggle simply to keep their own body, the vehicle that permits them life on this rock, healthy. Amazing. More people need to put in the work, more people need to strive to be the best human they can be. Until then, humans will continue to look toward/give obedience to authority because they themselves are not yet enough. Sad but we see this replicated time and time again.
