You might want to consider broadening your perspective as there are many religions in the world. Collectively, they generally share a core set of beliefs that appear to have a genetic foundation which code for behavior and physiological experiences which benefit the human species. From a social perspective, religions (of whatever set of beliefs) are all cults which ebb and flow over time.

Mark Twain used to talk about the “oceans of blood” caused by Christians in the name of their religion. Remember that 5000 generations ago, we all had the same mother.
