Subject: organized religion promotes blind obedience and conformity, that to me is an aberration.
It is not my style to use chapter and verse numbers, this isn't ment to be missionary as well, it is unusual for me to convince somebody meet Jesus. After all Jesus of Nazareth is famous. I don't think I ever tried exept to say yes when I got asked. Still it is the contribution of many churches to violate the Kingdom of Heaven in lots of variations. Like throwing around them with chistologies; theologes who interpret the meaning of words like "is"; keeping their followers in a prison.
People who have power, they have a different memory which allowes them to play the people. It's the same for the "emperor" as it is for the "pope". It's the same for a CEO, it's the same for spiritual leaders of groups. I reject it as the result is unsatisfactory. Teach the illiterate to read? Nope, I want to manipulate. Teach medicine? Nope, I want to be rich with synthetic addictive drugs. Teach the people to shake hands over borders? Nope, I have bullets to offer. For centuries powerhunger violates the Kingdom of Heaven.
