Reducing variation around the mean seems more like sermonizing’s function. It makes it easier to do nothing than to do the wrong thing.

Sermonizing in isolation no. But look at the Great Awakening and “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God” or J’Accuse. Both spawned movements.

I mean, like, the Sermon on the Mount is called that for a reason whether Christianity in aggregate has moved the actual mean or just the aspirational one is relevant here

“Actual mean” vs “aspirational mean” is equivalent to “group velocity” vs “phase velocity”. Only one of them allows faster than light travel.

Sermonizing is effective ať changing the beliefs of the sermonizers. It is important to mass movements like communism and Christianity to have people continually publicly espouse their beliefs. “Virtue” is orthogonal and subjective.
