It's not about organized religion exactly, it's being affiliated with a religion. You can identify as a Christian with out being part of an organization that tells you what to believe. To me it's about materialism overtaking spirituality. Of course you can be spiritual but not religious as so many people here are.Organized religion has turned people off, which I totally get.

Being attached to this material world primarily. Also it is a philosophy that nothing exists except the material world. The latter helps lead to the former.Materialism in what way?

Yes, that's another form of attachment. Another is attachment to the kingdom of names. What that means in affect is being attached to your reputation as a good person, attached to your esteem in your own intellect, etc.Oh, okay. I find many Christians being too attached to the afterlife and don't focus on this life, i.e., being good to people, animals and the environment, or saying it's okay to suffer now, but get saved so you can go to heaven. I guess there are all kinds.
