And hippies don't go to war either. But how is that relevant to the point of religion being the only way to make people work against their own interest.

Ah, I now realize you were objecting to this:

Religion usually has a built-in power structure that nothing else has been able to replicate.

You missed what the point was.

The statement was that historically communes only work out when founded on religion.
