Sortof off topic but when people have A Probably Gratuitous Whinge about organised religion and aren't in obvious distress, I do tend to say something like "My religion only looks organised from the outside, and barely that: in reality we're just muddling along like anyone else." Like, yes Christianity has been and in too many cases still is associated with significant imperial/hierarchical/colonial/kyriarchal power, and I do not mean to make light of the grievous damage that has caused. But in the meantime, it is often the case that we can barely keep the buildings watertight and the lights on.

(There is a whole sideline here about why I feel more comfortable in but also frustrated by smol churches that are having to struggle, but that's even further off-topic.)
