With your statement you have simply pointed out how the majority of mankind tends to follow "tradition".
Many people who call themselves "Christians" are no exception. Often, the words of men are revered more then the Word of God.

Nevertheless, God calls mankind to cease from following tradition and follow Him. The fact the majority does not respond to that call doesnt in any way disprove that call. It only shows the condition mankind is in.

Fact is, those who hear His voice and who truly follow God have always been a small minority in comparison to humanity overall.

Looking to other humans for our "example" or to show you the way will virtually always fail.
