It seems like you could say that about any organization. Is there something special about a religion that makes it more likely to be corrupt? Even one like TST?
Because it is a religion. If religions are like any other organization, why do you want them separated from the state specifically? There are many other types of organizations that interact or participate with the state, but somehow you want to separate religions.
Where did I say that I wanted them separate from the state? I only say that every religion should have equal rights. The state shouldn’t favor one religion over another.
I’m not sure if they’re more likely to become corrupt, but if they do they can be worse than other organizations. Religions have all sorts of special legal protection, and adherents to them usually find coming to the conclusion that they and their representatives have done wrong to be a much higher bar to clear.
So even if not more likely to become corrupt, they present a particularly large hazard if and when they do.

That’s one of the goals of the TST, to separate state from religion. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told by some TST followers.
I wouldn’t believe anything about TST based on hearsay, because a lot of people are misinformed.
