I think religious organizations provide an important social connection for a huge number of people in this world. That is invaluable. The problem is with religious leaders. They have repeatedly done terrible things. Falwell. Catholic priests. Many of the religious leaders from my family's past. All of the people supporting DJT and his ilk (supporting someone that literally has the opposite of their views).
This duality is a real problem and I don't see it being address one tiny bit.

On numerous occasions I’ve had nights out with people I’ve never met before who’d be chased out of the village by pitchfork wielding yokels if you took them in the church. And it was great!
