All of your points except for the first one about privacy seem pedantic. Even that one is a complaint about social networks that are voluntary systems. If you don't like the lack of privacy on social networks don't use them. People freely choose to use them despite the privacy concerns.
Religion hasn't been hijacked by the megacorporations. Christianity, and most other Western religions, are filled with histories of violence and oppression. The mentally ill have been punished and treated poorly throughout history - as were almost all people throughout history. In fact religion is one of the only parts of society where the mentally ill are venerated, which is a sad fact.
Your focus on corporations being the reason for corruption is unwarranted. The main problems arise when our justice system favors one thing over another - be it groups over individuals, whites over blacks or rich over poor. Dispersing power, focusing on equality before the law and in opportunity, and reducing coercive forces on individuals is the solution. This involves self forming economic entities like corporations but also entails strong and separate political systems that aren't influenced by them.
