Organized religion like all systems can fall into the temptations of man and the trappings of power.
lofhay, please try to make a distinction between this particular realization and the other teachings of your faith. I'm pretty sure you will come to the conclusion that they don't align and that the people who tried so hard to teach you this were more interested in the power than the faith.
Assuming you grew up in a Christian faith, you should know that original sin is forgiven through the death of Christ and that your faith in him gives you eternal life. That is an intensely personal journey and doesn't require other people or a checkbook to fulfill.
I'm sorry you are so angry.
