Organized religion is used to usurp and twist our relationship with God to nefarious ends. One look at the history of the Papacy, as an example, will show you the demented crap that has been the custom since almost the very beginning. It began as something pure, but that didnt last long. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is the legacy of organized religion. That and death in the name of God.

Now that is not to say there arent any good men of religion. There absolutely is good men involved. A very many good men, with good intentions. But it is rotten at the top.
