It's Wednesday morning, thus I'm at a gym. Can't be making health exceptions for arbitrary holidays.

Honest question: fine that you're gyming, but why do you feel it necessary to slip in an underhanded snark at many folks' religion? I don't get that.

Spirituality is fine. Organized religion is dumb. I was deeply involved in 3 different Christian denominations until I left home for university.
I hear you. If I had a nickel for every time I've heard someone say "organized religion" drove them away from their faith, I'd have a lot of bitcoin! 😀 No doubt the church has made grievous errors at times in a lot of ways. So often I hear these same people say things like, "nature is my cathedral, that's where I find religion" or something of that form. My personal opinion...they're patiently healing.
It's a problem inherent to humans. Humans will inevitably err, they can't be trusted to run large spiritual organizations piously. Religion should be as decentralized as possible.
