Organized religion can turn into politics so easily. Especially when people stop concerning themselves with the personal worship of their particular deity or deities, and instead decide to *govern* their neighbors by obliging them to worship (or at least "morally" behave) in the same manner they themselves do.

That's when religion turns into a political party. That's when religion turns ugly.
