    But those do not include organized religions that have holy books written about ancient hallucinations.

    Spiritualism is fine (generally) but it can still lead to delusional thinking. As in, verifiably false conclusions.

      It’s possible to believe in monotheist religion and scripture without supporting the centralized oppressive organization that exploits them.

          Have fun with the close minded elementary understanding

          A Sufi Hymn to Awareness

          Neither subject nor object, neither seer nor seen Awareness is a flame which glows into itself

          For those who have the eyes, for those who wish to see It opens its heart and shows into itself

          Neither here nor there, its home is nowhere Like a wind it blows and blows into itself

          Beginning with a drop in each moment of Creation It soon becomes a river that flows into itself

          From where does it come and to where does it go? Like a breath it comes and goes into itself

          To nothing does it submit, 'cause nothing’s other than it To itself it bows, as it bows to itself

            Your belief in the organization legitimizes dangerous and corrosive beliefs. It legitimizes the power structure that oppresses. It legitimizes the act of turning off your brain. Your adherence to its rules legitimizes even it’s more rabid and extreme flanks.

            You cannot participate in organized religion without harming society.
