RELIGION
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 18
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this
right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either
alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his
religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Your comments about politics struck me. In particular, it struck that you could
have been describing the Vatican.
The Catholic Church has ever been political, and all of the wrongs you
enumerate as political have also been perpetrated by that religious
organization. Other churches of course have colluded with the Vatican and are
equally culpable in their determined lust for political and economic power.
I am not political and non-religious. Therefore my opinion has no bias but is my
personal belief and understanding.
If you set Politics into the Forum, then you should give Religion equal space.
However, I really think both are too personal for open, balanced debate.
History proves that to be the case.
