Not exactly true - but governments are always vulnerable to capture by a religious collective because religions allow non-kin coordination. A government that lacks a state religion has no way to stop this.

Additionally, we do have a state religion now, and DC is big rent-seeking orgy. On a scale never seen before. The key to mitigate capture and rent-seeking is accountability.

The key is having a *sane* state religion - not just any state religion. We have an insane state religion that is growing more and more insane by the day.

Of course our state religion is fake and gay and doesn’t provide any true internal restraints to rent-seeking, like a good religion should do. Obviously, U.S. now a low-trust society for a lot of reasons.

Could it be in the long-run a state can’t maintain social trust unless some degree of kin relationship? i.e., a nation founded (re-founded?) on an idea like we are may be in trouble.
