body is a temple, but not according to some ORs

This concept/notion/whatever is taking stronger shape in my mind as each day goes by:
If God is all-being, all-knowing, all-seeing, omnipresent and omnipotent, we can conclude that God is in us and all around us. Organized religion's greatest transgression would then be denying His part in us (i.e., not recognizing us as deitful components of Him), externalizing our responsibility toward Him (ourselves - as in body is a temple), and making us worship Him as something separate from us that (conveniently) requires an intermediary (and a chain of command). This conveniently absolves us of our responsibilities toward ourselves and everybody and everything, which are by definition, also part of God.
