The Watch serves a greater purpose than religion Gideon, and stands against a far greater evil than mere sin. We don't lie, we guard the masses against an unpalatable truth, one they will never be able to cope with.
"And what truth would that be?"
That there is a far older evil that lies at the edges of reality, and waits. That it can afford to bide its time, because it is beyond time. And when it chooses to act, your God won't intervene. Your God doesn't care about humanity, and never has.
"If that's true, then how can we hope to defeat it?"
Defeat it? Don't tell me you actually thought we hoped for any kind of victory, oh dear no. The Watch exists purely to delay the inevitable. The only victory we can win, is one more day...
