We can't save anyone. We do what we can to lead them to Christ, who does the saving. Yes we should lead as many as we can. We are commanded to do this. As for today's religious leaders, I do believe there is some corruption. But there are also good leaders who hear from God and do the right thing. The Bible shows us how to tell the difference.

42 Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, for from God I came forth and am here. Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth. 43 Why is it you do not know what I am speaking? Because you cannot listen to my word. 44 You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]. 45 Because I, on the other hand, tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Who of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why is it you do not believe me? 47 He that is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why you do not listen, because you are not from God.”
I think that these words apply also to anyone who does not listen to Jesus. Not just religous leaders.

We ourselves can get someone to believe but we can give them a help starting but in the end god is the one who saves them. and don't try to force it on them because then then will not belive
