What kind of people do you think start and flock to religions that offer worldly power and authority? Organized religion isn’t just problematic, it is the smoking gun.
Yes, that would be the ones holding the gun. Predator-minded self-serving people have always been among us, and instead of handling them properly we raise them up and put them in charge over us time and time again. Religion and government, the perennial weapons used by the human enemies of humanity.
As an aside, it’s crazy how you can go back to ancient Egypt and see evidence of the pharaohs manipulating the masses using religion. First to establish themselves as demigods and second to extend immortality after death to the hardest workers. For some reason people following modern religions can see that example clearly for what it is, but scoff at the idea that it applies to their’s.
By capital I meant the capture of basic necessities. Healthcare (United Healthcare), shelter (progress residential/greystar), food (Tyson foods/Monsanto), water (Nestle, AWK), comfort (Too broad, but you get the point)…

I’m more than convinced it is not confined to religion, and ignoring that is a big problem.

Don’t forget capital, but well said.

Currencies are issued by governments, but I agree that capital should be spotlighted as a major part of the problem.
