Organized religion is primarily a form of politics though. Before we had the left and the right, we had various religiouns jostling for political supremacy. The concept of separation of church and state is fairly modern and not fully implemented yet. Case in point: US imagery invokes a lot of God stuff and Germans still pay church taxes. Most religions in most of the modern world are also tax exempt organizations etc.
