You missed the point! The State is the single largest beneficiary of organized religion (sounds like organized crime to me). They will continue to support these groups to ensure that we don't seek for our 'rewards on earth' because that will mean fighting our corrupt leaders and unsitting them. The military, the politicians and organized religion have constituted an evil triangle.
