Back then, there was less religious foundation so people easily absorbed what they were told. They wanted to believe that God sent someone to save them from the bad. Since one thing became such a hype, there was less reason for people to change their views. So if someone were to now say they talked to God, there would be less reason to believe them. However, there are other ways to get followers. People like Charles Manson got his cult through methods of terror. He claimed he was the devil.
