The contribution of religion towards mankind is the emancipation against beings who lead, abuse, and kill thousands or even millions juts to keep reign and dominion or even grab other reign and dominion. It's better to lay the intrinsic need for a protector in desperate and helpless times not with a man but with a supernatural being who will control but should not have earthly needs. But sad to say some did find a way to corrupt this endeavor and ended exploiting it.
Religion is the main tool of the devil. To misrepresent God's kingdom and to hide itself in its garb.
Although we need the truth about Jesus which he himself organized the apostles, to proclaim the Gospel. Did the apostles used force or arms to enforce religion?
"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
Religion was one of the main opponents of Christ that is false religion. As in the time when he contended with the pretentious religion of the pharisees.
That would be incorrect remember satan main tool was and is deception. He doesn't show himself as the red caped monster but instead poses himself as a christianity and establishes a christian church he wants but he himself denies the scripture opposes the very word of God and his commandments and esteems more of mens tradition than the word of God.
This is false church:
"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
and her followers:
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
Yes we love these misguided enough people that we called them out of their false religion.
Otherwise we would not warn them.
This is not besting other religion as you might think. You might be accusing Jesus as besting the religion of pharisees and saducees. But he met them with reproof and warning. Knocking the door to their hearts hoping they repent.
We need to base our judgement on the scriptures not one's own opinion.

When it comes to religion,
All explanations, justifications are soooooo pointless.
Regardless, we are all entitled to our own entertainment.

"Rome had misrepresented the character of God and perverted His requirements, and now men rejected both the Bible and its Author. She had required a blind faith in her dogmas, under the pretended sanction of the Scriptures. In the reaction, Voltaire and his associates cast aside God's word altogether and spread everywhere the poison of infidelity. Rome had ground down the people under her iron heel; and now the masses, degraded and brutalized, in their recoil from
her tyranny, cast off all restraint. Enraged at the glittering cheat to which they had so long paid homage, they rejected truth and falsehood together; and mistaking license for liberty, the slaves of vice exulted in their imagined freedom."
-The Bible and the French Revolution
Sa TS, same ta ug situation karon. I have been agnostic for quite some time already. Right now, reading is your best tool. Look into the arguments of each side, and be open minded.
