Your belief in the organization legitimizes dangerous and corrosive beliefs. It legitimizes the power structure that oppresses. It legitimizes the act of turning off your brain. Your adherence to its rules legitimizes even it’s more rabid and extreme flanks.
You cannot participate in organized religion without harming society.
Is it the god of an organized religion? Do you call yourself a believer in that religion even if you don’t “support” it?
Which God? There are thousands. Judeo Christian God? Yeah you support the degradation of society. Doesn’t matter which denomination. You want to tell me how you can have a personal connection with someone else’s hallucination?

Sorry forgot you are the ultimate arbiter of truth and that I don’t exist.
A Sufi Hymn to Awareness
Neither subject nor object, neither seer nor seen Awareness is a flame which glows into itself
For those who have the eyes, for those who wish to see It opens its heart and shows into itself
Neither here nor there, its home is nowhere Like a wind it blows and blows into itself
Beginning with a drop in each moment of Creation It soon becomes a river that flows into itself
From where does it come and to where does it go? Like a breath it comes and goes into itself
To nothing does it submit, 'cause nothing’s other than it To itself it bows, as it bows to itself

Reread, I’m against the organization, not the personal connection to the faith in and connection with God directly.
