Again, that presupposes a different set of values.
Consider common American Evangelical beliefs that focus on praying for specific material or personal gain (such as good health). This is nothing more than religion blended with "the cult of the individual". As such, I have little reason to believe those institutions would create better outcomes.

Perhaps not for the TV guys who preach out of converted sports arenas but I think it's a little questionable if that really represents a community.
