Authorities are going to stay. For you to decide whether you want an authority of flesh and bone, restrained by religion and sharing same values as you or abstract entities like state or corporate, for whom you are a statistics, an irrelevant cog in the purely mechanical wheel.

While religion teaches the subjects to view authorities like parents, husband or kings to be more than humans it simultaneously puts the onus upon them to be benevolent towards the ones with less power. It turns competition into coperation.

Remove religion with it's so called "justification of exploitation" and you will find that exploitation has not gone any where. Not only oligarchs are trying to stamp over you, but the less powerfuls themselves devouring eachother like hungry rats.

Sabalt theologians will willfully ignore these to have revenge upon the oppressior Brahmins or husbands. But after that what? Welcome to cannibalism.
