All religions are organized.
How do you think they get started?
1 extremist has something interesting to say
<others hear him and start agreeing/believing due to his or her communication with god, allah, satan, whatever
<their numbers grow
<leaders are formed to study/invent new ideas and beliefs to keep people interested and loyal
<beliefs are turned into laws
<beliefs expand to the extent of converting even more to "the truth"
<murders ensue

etc
etc
etc

Religion is the best example of organized crime and control EVER seen.
