Flat Earth Theory / Re: Is there a secular reason for the round earth deception?

The Flat Earth model makes all the sense in the world to me.  but I simply can't think of why someone would perpetrate a global earth fraud.  When the global earth model was first developed and accepted, centuries ago, there was no NASA to take people's money (?)

The religious "justifications" for the fraud seem laughable.

^^^ If a fraud is perpetrated, there is usually a reason.  Are any secular reasons being presented, for why a global earth model has been taught? 

Why is that an inappropriate question?

Why would anyone want to perpetrate such an enormous fraud, as proclaiming a globe earth?  I'm very interested in FET, but this is a question no one seems able to answer.  The only answers I've ever gotten were in heavily christian terms---such as "the Elite want to make Man think the earth is round, in the midst of an infinite Universe, so he won't feel close to god"

Are there secular rationales floating around out there?

excluding religious ideas, what purpose would there be, to lie about the earth's shape and structure?

Flat Earth Theory / Mathematical calculations

If the sun is only 3000 miles away, wouldn't mathematicians have noted it centuries ago?
How are the calculations of "the Universe being 13 billion light years across" faked?
Since astronomy is so top-heavy with mathematics, wouldn't astronomers discover a fakery?
