It's a complicated topic - humans have always had spiritual aspirations even from before recorded history. On the other hand, organized religion is ALWAYS corrupt. So in general, my position has been that I don't know whether spiritual or religious pursuits might have some value or not, but I certainly don't trust any institutional religion nor follow them. But at least in the past they did things like patronage of art and high culture, whereas now they are indistinguishable with the worst of trash culture, while all the innovation is done underground.
