I'm very familiar with several forms of Christianity, as well as some early Jewish traditions and a bit of Islam, and let's not forget various forms of Eastern religions, and of course my favorite, Wicca and Paganism. Any time a religion formalizes and creates a hierarchy, it always leads to funneling money and power to the leaders.
The majority of the religions you mentioned there are decentralized and don't have a hierarchy. Yet you claimed religions are always invented with the sole purpose of controlling the masses.
