See the “organized” part is the part that I understand much more. Believing in magic is, to be frank, silly. Having a place you go weekly that gives you a community structure largely lacking from capitalist society? Totally get it, kinda jealous honestly.
I see, I was more disparaging grand scale religion, like megachurches, and the Catholic church. Religion can foster a sense of community, but so can other things, like political organizing (sometimes based) and sports (mostly cringe).
But yes, if all you have is capitalist atomization then organized religion is better.
Spirituality is also foreign to me, except when I get help from shrooms.
