Evidence for what? Without telling us, and making clear it is an

science, as I have experience at the front.
Religion per se is a too large word. Only institutionalized religion
asks for authoritative arguments, and revelation.
And what religion is not institutional? The word itself means "to
bind together". A religion is an institution.
None of them, to start with.
But you're right that all the "successful" ones become an
institution after a while.
The problem is not so much the institution, but the rigid institution,
and worse the monopoly or attempt to monopoly.
The problem is fear which tend to make sometimes all humans acting
like there were one, a bit like the social amoebas.
The "solution" is education, and encouragement of rigor in all
directions. It is more fun and more fair.
