"Organized religion long ago co-opted faith for political power."

This may well be true for much of organized religion but to make a universal statement is to throw out the baby with the bath water.

I leave you with a favorite quote, "For every problem there is a simple solution... and it is wrong." IMHO your solution is simplistic.

Simplistic? How complex was Eden? What demands of organization were made in the first 7 days? Political organizations draw power to individual MEN. Whether they call themselves churches or governments changes nothing. Organized coercion is anthetical to religious principle.
