spiritual thought is the foundation of everything, even atheism that denies otherwise because moral and free will are embedded in fabric of the Universe.
The bible is correct when saying that God's church is within but is so contradicting that masses never foressaw the problem with imposing it on the masses. Monopolies are characterized by their ensuing tyranny, if one has to kill, enslave or regard other human beings as subhuman/retarded one is part of the problem because thoughts always become actions: world history is dotted with such facts and translating this.

“I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.”
26.Toleration is not the opposite of intoleration, but it is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms. The one assumes to itself the right of withholding liberty of conscience, and the other of granting it. The one is the pope, armed with fire and fagot, and the other is the pope selling or granting indulgences. [Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man]
55.The New Testament, they tell us, is founded upon the prophecies of the Old; if so, it must follow the fate of its foundation.
56.Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst; every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we live in; but this attempts to stride beyond the grave, and seeks to pursue us into eternity.
