Too many religious organizations are in the business of enforcing beliefs.

Over the centuries, religion has become institutionalized, and in the process encrusted with elaborate hierarchies, top-heavy bureaucracies, highly specialized roles and reflexive routines.

Military organization, like religious organization, can be seen as a paradigm of organization in general.

Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.

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.
