I must look into this phenomena which appears to be completely unique to religion as none of these things have happened in any other social structure.
It doesn't mean it doesn't occur in other areas. It's just that people follow a religion as some higher moral calling. People expect politicians to back stab, lie and start wars. They don't tend to appreciate when those things occur in their spiritual salvation, or when it drains their bank accounts, or is paid for in the blood of people thousands of miles away.
Spirituality bypasses all of that and just gets to the end result - no need for popes, bishops or preachers.
