Catholicism was the most popular religion globally for a long time, and is still #2 next to Islam more recently. Islam is more decentralized in current organizational structures but is still centralized on a fundamental level because Muslims believe they must follow a set of rules that was originally given to them by another man, Mohammed, who is the central authority of Islam.
My point is, centralized spiritual beliefs are still overwhelmingly popular globally because most people are followers and can't imagine anything else.
Real decentralized spiritual beliefs means the individual can access divinity directly, without going through a middleman priest or prophet, so there is no hierarchical chain of command. Few people are able to grasp this simple concept, just as few people are able to grasp the concept of personal sovereignty.
Believe what you want
The fact remains, that if you define yourself as "anti" anything... Once that "anything" is gone... Your identity is gone, too...
Checkmate?
Yes
And self inflicted
So, your whole "business", is flawed from the begining, doomed to fail
Sure you can argue that this system has this flaw or this flaw... But yours is even worse, in the end
