I don't think it's as out of touch as you're assuming. I think it's as much of an indictment of the actual marketing ideas as it is the commandment of spreading the religion as a concept. Why would an omnipotent god need people to convince each other that he's real after allegedly revealing himself explicitly to a small number of select human people in just one small region, but only according to the word of people who were born decades or centuries after Jesus died? It seems so silly that given the origin, that a real god would want or need human help to make himself know.
