Values prior to Religion

Values prior to Religion
People are born imbued with proto-values, and thereafter it is job or destiny of philosophy-religion to shape and develop these values. This must take place one way or another. There is little doubt that people of all sorts and races are born in a similar wide range of characteristics. These will include a proportion of individuals who are prone to what is presently referred to as 'extremism'. A country-society must have its overall ethic or 'religion' and where this is so attenuated that a number of establishment religions are permitted, it is inevitable that the extremism of a contained national religion will be multiplied by many religions acting conflictingly within the country-society.
If we take all religion and philosophy that exists, including its various branches and sects, and all religion that may be resurrected from past history. And allow freedom of religion to all individuals then the inevitable outcome is a condition of chaos. Any stable society must have regulation of 'religion' removing from the mix, at least those that are destructive.
Where society is potentially stable:
A tyranny is such as to have a single religion that is hierarchical and that convinces the mass of population that it has a duty to serve. It would almost certainly be portrayed as a revealed reality.
Anarchistic society is such as to allow individuals a large degree of autonomy, but this would thereby permit such a range of competitive and other values as to destabilise it. And any transient populist majority might take society in another direction. But such a degree of individualism will also bring a mixing or races-cultures and ultimately undermine the diversity initially vaunted, with minorities entirely extinguished.
Altruism on a global or regional basis must be mutual responsibility as between semi-autonomous societies-countries. And then as between local communities and individuals. Religion-philosophy a matter of free-discussion and not as an authoritarian imposition, or random preference.
The Ethic of Altruism must be such as all people of ordinary intelligence can readily understand its values and purpose. It cannot employ a religion which requires scholars to interpret its Ethic, and then these differ, as also two religions may interpret a text differently [Judaism-Christianity-Islam].

Not that this sentence is the first problem with your post, but what is the support (argumentation and/or empirical evidence) for the claim you're making here?

one shouldnt go about taking religious freedom away unless you establish it is a cult or is destructive to the common good.
A cult demands conformity. Christianity is one.
