You’re onto something here. Organized religions are some of the very few institutions that survived for thousands of years with little change.

Which organized religion are you referring to here? All the big ones have changed immensely.

Just because religions go through major institutional changes, since they are in fact very human at their core, you have to give some credit to the fact we are still talking about Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad.

At least, the Torah has survived with minimal change.

We have physical copies of older versions. Just because it's religion, doesn't mean it's made up.
