Default Is organized religion pointless?

Organized religion seems not ony out of touch with modern society but also with the very religous morals they try to preach.

To me god is a spiritual bond and not a commercialized religion (i'm an atheist by the way but i'm open to faith.) Religous persons appear to have lost contact with the spiritual side, many believe that praying five times a day repenting for their sins or attending church on the sabbath secures their place in the afterlife.

I believe that by disbanding organized religions and working towards the common morals which appear in all religons (compassion for man and animals, faith etc etc) we can secure a place in any gods afterlife without having to pray in a place overtaken by greed and evil.

Why shouldn't religion be organized if it helps people live their faith?

Organized religion is essentially a method of crowd control.

Those in power tend to use it to justify their actions to the masses.
