This reminds me on my "religion" when I was a little child, before I read anything from the "Holy" Books. It was a very beautiful condition, I just believed that God encompasses all the best things I knew. Since I read the Bible and the Qur'an, my religion became a little bit distorted, but now since I realized that scripture is not 100% the word of God, I return to my faith I had as a little child.
From my point of view religion really has a future, but we must not do the mistake and analyze scripture word for word. (Prophet) Jesus has told in the parable of the sower, that we shouldn't choke the word, but this is exactly what some religious fundamentalists are doing. Love is the key to comprehend scripture in the right ray of light.
For example what is called the "Key of David" in scripture is the realization that love is higher than truth. For example I find it very, very interesting that the story about the adulteress in the Bible, where Jesus told the people who is without sin should throw the first stone, seems to be a later addition. Yet this story is the application of love above truth.
