Getting a temple recommend is easier than getting baptized in South America. All a person has to do is answer yes or no to ten questions, and it is not difficult to discern which answer is the correct one.
But at the same time, the people who lie in the interview are not the kind who "fear" God or punishment. Those same people tend to only attend the temple on ward temple nights, or their friends endowments and sealings. It's not about having a relationship with God; it's about appearances.
