It's unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Any great organization can go through sectarian phases.
I feel all the religions should be able to co-exist if the various factions would be willing to respect and learn from each other's faiths.
Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history.
If organized religion has become less relevant, it's not because churches have held fast to their creedal beliefs - it's because they've held fast to their conventional structures, programs, roles and routines.
Over the centuries, religion has become institutionalized, and in the process encrusted with elaborate hierarchies, top-heavy bureaucracies, highly specialized roles and reflexive routines.
It is still fashionable to believe that how you organize yourself religiously in this life may matter for eternity. Unless we can erode the prestige of that kind of thinking, we're not going to be able to undermine these divisions in our world.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.
I don't subscribe to organised religion. I've travelled enough to see that adherents of organised religion often attack adherents of other religions.
Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.
We may be sure that out of the ruins of our capitalist civilization a new religion will emerge, just as Christianity emerged from the ruins of the Roman civilization.
