Look at all levels of life ... Nobody co-exist excepting on a very small scale.
If we are here to learn / experience something, and if those who learned / experienced enough don't return, while new inexperienced souls replenish the pool, then life on Earth will follow similar scenarios, mistakes will be made, lessons will have to be learned / experienced.
Obviously, faith isn't a tool to solve problems on any scale.

I once used to go to a religious group that looked at such issues as you brought up, in a different perspective.
There were virtually no rules. If somebody wanted to give the talk, they got their first and presented their name as speaker. Same went for the meditation. The group truly worked in spirit and surprisingly, no incidents aroused with this arrangement.
There was no passing of the 'plate', no contribution boxes, and no method to support the religious group or pay bills such as rent. All expenses were paid for by the founder.
If somebody had something they wanted to say, they could say it.
What I learned from this religious group was that the greatest obstacle we have in being able to work together is fear itself.
