Organised Religion is a large step on the path to creating an enduring religion that holds the hearts, minds and imaginations of the Culture together. It helps to create the connectivity that a strong faith provides. This technology allows the Culture to build churches - improved places of worship.

It also helps to focus the extremely faithful into paths that the Culture can use for warfare. By choosing the young or disaffected the religion is able to mold people into zealots. Holy warriors willing to lay down their lives in the service of their faith.
