Organized religion seems not ony out of touch with modern society but also with the very religous morals they try to preach.

To me god is a spiritual bond and not a commercialized religion (i'm an atheist by the way but i'm open to faith.) Religous persons appear to have lost contact with the spiritual side, many believe that praying five times a day repenting for their sins or attending church on the sabbath secures their place in the afterlife.

I believe that by disbanding organized religions and working towards the common morals which appear in all religons (compassion for man and animals, faith etc etc) we can secure a place in any gods afterlife without having to pray in a place overtaken by greed and evil.

Why shouldn't religion be organized if it helps people live their faith?

Organized religion is essentially a method of crowd control.

Those in power tend to use it to justify their actions to the masses.
