I think the main draw of all religions might be
the social aspect. Not the idea of a relationship with a God figure.

Partially; particularly in smaller communities where there may be only one largely non-denominational "church" which functions more as a community center.
Unfortunately, the main draw for most organized religions, imho, is neither that nor the idea of a relationship with a God figure. It is more of a country club attitude of entitlement and exclusivity of belonging to the "one, true faith" paying homage to the "only, true God" and discriminating against all others.

@Ohplease47 Yes, for the loudest and shrillest, imo, who see it as a megaphone for their political agendas. Hopefully not for the vast majority.
