Religion exists because it works. But the contradictions between religion and society have grown and grown and grown because their is a central contradiction between faith and fact. I'd say there's a similar contradiction between hierarchy and freedom. The movement towards freedom grows and grows because there's no reason person A should magically be able to dictate to person B but the coordination possibilities of hierarchy grind against that basic idea.
