You're going away from the Original question - it was ORGANISED Religion .
Peoples own personal beliefs which are hopefully harmless personal crutches to help reconcile their own place in this world , God , Spirituality and behaviour in this life ,were not being questioned although - it's your right to seek to expand the discussion !.
It's the thought of how Millions of people can be controlled by these Organised Religions and sometimes to commit atrocities / start Wars etc etc. in the name of the highest Diety in which they believe.
