based on just as little science as you also use, and also only knowing about what I have experienced in life, I'd say it has been my observation that until the last two or three decades, most "organized" religions in my lifetime (1953 born) were quite liberal in their views of society, their attitudes toward the poor and needy, etc. with the exception of perhaps abortion/birth control.
I think many of those followers are the same as before, but not as visible as the media savvy preachers and those they have enlisted. perhaps less audible would be a better word than less visible.
That's a whole lot of believers you tossed out with the bath water...
I'm not sure where I stand about tax exempt status.
