Amos:
Your assumption is correct pertaining to 'groups coming together in pursuit as something they see as divine or spiritual ... or even with an individual's pursuit as having the absolute true meaning of divinity or spirituality. This is the 'me' part of religion, the EGO. This can be seen as the only me (or my 'group') as having the Right way, all others are going the Wrong way. I am giving and passionate to others because it makes me (my EGO) feel righteous.
Human affinity is a powerful force for the good ... most certainly I cannot disagree ... but it must not be done to please the collective 'me'(EGO).
