The difference is that government provides useful and essential services.  I tend to enjoy things like water delivery, a police force, education, roads, and so on.  So, despite its flaws, the government is worth keeping around and reforming.  

Religion does not provide any service that can not be accomplished by secular means, so there is no reason to keep it around.  


I have my own water system, my own gun, went to a private school and  pay specifically for roadwork.

By your logic, I shouldn't have to pay any other taxes.
