I don't know. Faith and beliefs have always helped people to deal with the questions of life but in a strict sense religion has little to do with faith. I can't really see much benefit in worldly organizations to manage beliefs. The words of prophets, regardless of denomination, tend to spread pretty well on their own by word of mouth. The clergy often seem very adapt at stamping out faith and replacing it with rituals and worship of the organization instead. In the worst cases it causes social stagnation, apathy, and the entrenchment of the powers that be.
