Elsewhere
Religion is a formalized institution created for the purpose of legitimizing an absurd idea.
- Scientology and their Xenu space aliens and monsters
- Mormons and their "seer stone" that allowed their profit to stick his head in his hat and read magic text from a magic tablet that no one else can see
- Christians, Hebrews and Muslims and their walking, talking snakes, Jennies, Unicorns, Sky Gods and talking to dead people.

Religion is a non-prophet organization... the best BS story ever told... the greatest excuse ever given for good people to do evil things... the crutches of the servile mind where the constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear... an absurdity that makes fools of all their members cause they make them reject what they see and not what they think, instead of making them wise men that reject what they think and not what they see...
If we go back to the beginning, we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interests. If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them.

Absurd means to be inconsistent with logic, common sense, or reasoning. Therefore, a systematic belief in something that isn't absurd would simply be an ordered believe consistent with logic, common sense, or reasoning.

Most religions, even JWs have an impressive internal logic.
