Hierarchy is is much reviled in the present day.

Islam is in principle egalitarian, and has always had problems with power.

I am convinced that living in an enclave shapes the personality, and living alone shapes the personality too.

It's unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure.

It is only partly true that religion does more harm than good in society. The community makes God into the image it wants, vengeful, or milky sweet, or scrupulously just, and so on.

Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history.

It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements.
