Well, this is what I interpreted you meant by the harmfulness intrinsic to each religion. My mistake.

Tried to clarify. Religion is more than leading characters & texts & doctrines. It's mostly practice & values & enforcement.

What's better word than 'intrinsic?' 'Central features of a religion as manifested by followers over course of its existence?'

I'm not sure. I first took it to mean you were teasing out what was caused purely by the faith and not extraneous forces.

Extraneous forces. Religion reacts to them, adapts to them, remakes itself in relation to them.

Faith remains constant problem, doctrines and tradition guide the response but religion is always creation of culture.

It lags behind, obv. Retains much of the culture it was invented in & picks up more along the way.

We can't even think the way ppl did when Christianity was invented. Harder & harder to understand human sacrifice.

Well it was also doctrinal and probably quite a bit of scope to the actual propositions people believed then too.
