<<When I was ten I think I figured out that churches were like schools (simply institutions) and the minister had the task to tell stories to make us self-aware and to be nice to one another.>> I never saw it that way? Churches are the opposite of schools. Schools teach knowledge and how to think. Schools encourage on to ask questions. Whereas churches teach dogma and how not to think. No need to think if one has the bible. Funny how that teaching being nice to one another never worked to free the African American's in the south over 400 years of slavery, black chain gangs and segregation. It was free thinking people that finally fixed that prolem, not any churches. It was the schools teaching knowledge and how to think and growing liberals that eventually freed all subjugated folks. The 60's, the rise of the liberals is what did bigotry in. The church never did anything about bigotry I ever saw except make it worse. It is the church leading the fight against gay rights, right now. Big issue on the St Patrick's day parade just today.
