That's all true, but in terms of autistic legalism they would certainly qualify as a religion. People are also incapable of escaping their confessional heritage, which results in it becoming a grotesque mockery of Christianity. Ideally, they would be ruthlessly repressed by all western nations formally restoring some flavor of proper Christianity while purging the progressive elements that have infiltrated them, such as Vatican II for the Catholics, the ELCA for Lutherans, whatever is going on with the Anglicans, etc.
Thank your for showing some autistic legalism representation. I see relegion as essentially pre-packaged philosophy with an instructional support system of buildings and titles.
I have worked to expand my exposure to differing philosophical teachings as I get older. Surprisingly, after a decade of following the hedonism of Aristippu, I am now properly appreciating the power of Christianity through the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. Certainly a more fulfilling approach to existence.
Physical pleasure is fleeting. Personal development of body and environment is eternal.

I am not a believer, but the theory in Christianity (as well as in Tolkien) is that evil is not a creating force, merely a perverting one.
