Disorganized religion

Last week, I spoke up in defense of organized religion, mostly because of the social contract that it helped form. 

That does not mean I am personally a fan of organized religion.  I am not.  I can hardly stand to attend a church service without a panic attack.

And that's disregarding the parts of my own personal beliefs that have no place in organized religion. 

Organized religion as a social institution has its place.  Far more important than that is you and your personal relationship with God, however you see Him.
