What entity has the power to do the following:

• It takes a significant percentage of whatever humans in its vicinity earn, by threat and by force, and is held to be righteous while practicing this extortion.
  
  
• It decrees what people are allowed to do or not do.
  
  
• It pursues and punishes people who do not obey their decrees, then is held to be righteous while forcing their will on people.
  
  
• It orders millions of young people into fights to the death.
  
  
• It is held to be righteous while refusing to inform the about-to-kill-and-die young people of the reasons for their death and dismemberment.
  
  
• It is held to be righteous while making decisions that will affect the lives of millions, but without letting them know the reasons for those decisions.
  

...and yet this 'thing' is held in high esteem by many people.

Clue for Lefties: It is not the NRA or the Catholic Church.
