excellent statement Izz.

But to me it seems like in the here and now some religions are meant to bring people together through inclusion, some are meant to bring people together by the removal of all who do not believe, some religions are not truly religions but ways of living to get along with all those who are logical and wish to do the same and yet still others are meant to control and profit from that control.

I try not to take any "religion" as 100% flawless and truthful, choosing to live my life using the stories and lessons to become a better person to deal with as a friend, lover and neighbor. Things that seem designed to control and profit, to turn me against others because they are of a differant type are thrown out. So I guess one can say I follow more closely the non religions and just live trying to help other good people prosper and make myself happy.
