The Wreckage of Organized Religion - Fundamentalist religions are known for intolerance, for demanding strict adherence by followers to a religious text, for requiring individuals to place more value on the religious community than on their own individuality. How could such a belief system thrive throughout the world, and why do so many Americans flock to them? "People are always searching for truth, both in the secular world and in the religious world," says Wade Fransson, a former minister and author of The People of the Sign, a memoir recounting his experience with a church that took a very wrong turn. "Fundamentalist religions believe firmly that they have the 'one truth' and their followers gain strength from the power of that knowledge." Fransson says he was a troubled teenager. He'd gone through his parents' divorce as a child, and was a victim of domestic kidnapping when his father spirited him away to Sweden. "My mother was an alcoholic who later abandoned me and by my teen years, I'd experienced unhappy homes and homelessness. I was doing drugs," he says. "When I was at my lowest point, it was the church that rescued me. It held the 'truth' that I'd been searching for and desperately needed. I cleaned up, became a law-abiding citizen, and worked for the church." Until, he says, he learned that not everything the church taught was true.
