Organized religion has convinced people that there is an invisible god living way off in the sky who watches everything you do. This god has a list of do's and don'ts, and if you break any of his commandments he will send you to an ever-burning hell to suffer for all eternity... but he loves you and needs your money.
Organized religion builds cathedrals of stone. Jesus teaches that His cathedral is made of living stones. ~ 1 Peter 2:4-6. The Church that Jesus built is not an earthly organization, it's a Body of Believers who are seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven.
For the first three centuries of Christianity, members met in homes and had group discussions. It wasn't until 313 AD that the Catholic Church adopted the auditorium format with all the members facing toward one speaker and keeping their mouth (and mind) closed.
Denominational Christianity is a "divide and conquer" tactic employed by organized religion to control Biblical doctrine and make the organization, and its leaders, wealthy. All 501(c) 3 religious organizations are creations of the State and substitute traditions of men for the the clearly stated Commandments of Christ.
Satan's job is to lie, steal, and destroy God's truth with man-made substitutions. How can we know the truth? ~ Psalm 119:160
The modern Church organization is a hospital for sin sick sinners and a nursery for babies in Christ. There comes a time when Christians need to be weaned from milk. Hebrews 5:12-14
Here's a short list of some of Churchianity's false doctrines
* The 1st day for the 7th day. Exodus 20:10

It was organized religion that crucified Jesus... and it is crucifying His message to this present day. As it is written: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." Matthew 15:8
