I kind of feel like you failed to read or engage with the post. Like are you willing to say that effective altruism is basically a cult? Or are you rejecting my reframing of religion and just not saying that?
I think I’m explicitly disagreeing with your framing? I thought it wasn’t ambiguous. But yeah, disagree with the framing; religion doesn’t become something else just by saying so.
I might use your definition temporarily if talking to someone who already holds organized religion to be a reasonable idea, so as to explain what I mean before I use the words they don’t like.
