If there is one thing in my life I have always opposed, it has been organized religion. This is not to say I think the core values of religion is wrong or that there is no God. But regardless of what you believe in, Organize religion has been a constant source of menace for mankind.

A quick look at the history and evolution of any religion (including Buddhism which is my favorite) will show that while religions start with message of hope, compassion, and salvation, they soon metamorphose into instruments of subjugation. Human beings are most dangerous when they believe they cannot possibly be wrong. And organize religion transforms what is at heart a good idea into the dogma of "it must be so and no other".
