We can use it to teach people to love and respect one another.
I personally am a “Christian” as that is the word that best describes me in that I try to live my life the way Jesus lived. I however abhor organized religion and think that any random congregation of satanists are better followers of Christ than most self proclaimed christians. They don’t believe in the spiritual side but do believe in the actions the religion was founded for. Helping others that have less and to work with compassion for a better life for everyone.
I wish there was a church that acted like the satanic temple but actually believed in God that’s where I’d go. But till one turns up I’ll keep to disorganized religion.
I don’t see how religion can cause good in the XXI century.

Love and respect explained in fairy tales. No need for religion.
It is also common sense. Inherent in humans that don’t suffer from narcissism. Impossible to not explore, unless you grow up in a vacum.
If it was common sense… Gestures broadly to the planet… Why is it not common?
Jesus message of love and forgiveness is at odds with most of humanitys perceived zero sum mindset.
