I think it's hard for no religious institutions to form cohesive groups because they don't have a commonly-held value structure. Indeed once you start to impose values on group members then for all intents and purposes you become quasi-religious because there's no materially bound "value-driven particles" or similar physical structure to values.

- krastanov 7y agoThere are plenty of secular groups that have cohesion (either between entire family units or between people without the rest of their family): non-religious scouting organizations, hiking groups, various volunteer groups, some political groups, gaming "clans", fan clubs, neighborhood groups... All of them are easy to join and leave and have churn, just like churches do when people move in or out of their region.
