Don’t religions have power structures and diplomatic missions?
Tables and chairs actually exist in the physical world. They’re objectively real. Countries - like gods - are inter subjectively real.
Sure, but people and organizations act through those. Not gods.
Tables and chairs are nothing more of amalgamations of wood, metal and paint. Nations are nothing more than amalgamations of people acting through institutions. Imo, they're both equally real, because we as intelligent beings have created them and ascribed them meaning and power.
