The Francs Maçons in France is such an organization. It has all the described properties. It is unfortunately a bit abused by people using the community for career promotion or commercial advantages due to the solidarity among people belonging to this community. Religious comunities display the same perversion. The reading of the OP's article made it clear to me that our occidental societies are apparently in a strong cultural evolution. I share the conclusion of the author. Irrationality, dogmas and beliefs have still too much legitimate space in our society. It is a disease when it is used to justify inhuman actions.
