Like Thomas Jefferson, I've found, philosophically, if you remove the superstitious claptrap, and apply the correct lens (define "righteousness"), you will discover a hidden narrative that actually weaves through most religious and philosophical works.

Religion is the ritualization of belief. It removes you from the equation, and dictates the answers to you. In fact, to be a part of a religion, you must adopt their beliefs, even if your own heart tells you otherwise.
