If you could make religion illegal

[paulpablo]

I probably won't read that to be honest with you. You asked for a secular organization comparable to a religious organization in terms of shittinees, violence whatever.

Now I get the disconnect.  No, that's not what I asked for.  I asked for an example of some group or system of organized secularism that did some shitty thing that we just shrugged at, or made allowances for.  I asked..because we -do- shrug and make such allowances for organized religions when they do shitty things.  

This is why the mafia was not a good example, nor the american govrnment.  Because we gutted the mafia, and ofc we (ostensibly) hold our government and other governments accountable for their actions.  Claiming a strongly held religious belief is one of the things that..in america, can confer leeway which other organised this or that's do not have.  From taxes, to the death of a child.

However using crime (and organized crime) as an example. Why is it that a scam tithing church can prey on the geriatric for their incomes legally...but a small team of cons at a nursing home cannot? Strongly held religious beliefs.

The people/agents of the government of the United States aren't always successfully and fully held accountable for dangerous, violent actions.

So saying we hold the government accountable means nothing.

There's a million ways to prey on the geriatric people for money legally without religion.

Its just one tool of many.
