As someone (I forget who), "God is not something you believe in. God is something you experience". In my view, any given religion is just the accumulated ways in which a specific group of people found to handle the aftermath of that experience.

Of course, the problem is that you get indoctrinated into a religion before you have a chance to experience It in the first place and end up mistaking the aftermath of the experience

If established religion actually stuck to the spiritual side of things and stopped fighting for the control of the population, it would definitely be able to do more good.
Try Quakerism!
