Religion is always organized. That’s the definition of it. It’s organized belief. Take away the organization (= rules on how to believe / act), and you’re left with personal beliefs.
Fuck all religions :)

I do believe these still tell their followers what/how to believe. A belief system is a religion. And there are Hindu and buddhist extremists acting as a group committing hate crimes

I don’t know. I’ve been to some pretty disorganized Hellenistic pagan events. Damn good time, though.
