Structured religion is the basis of all evils in the world because it ignores the individual. Religion should respect the individual, while structured religion tries to control the whole through threats of eternal pain. Over the ages structured religion has been twisted from being non-violent to being an excuse for the destruction of anyone who refuses to conform to their radical beliefs. When confronted with a structured religion most people submit because structured religion supports their instictional laziness.
By offering set values and ethics, structured religion removes the need for thought. When the individual no longer sees the need for thought he is under the control of the religion. When the religion has control of the individual, it can use that individual to gain control over the other individuals with the threats of eternal torture it used to ensnare the original individual. This system continues until every person in a given area is under control of the religion because they are told everything and no longer think for themselves.
And when the religion has ultimate power over everyone, it can do anything it wants, claiming that if the individual does not follow the rules it will live in eternal torture. In doing so, the religion violates its rights as a religion and becomes a thing of evil, making all of its followers evil.
