Through all the religions there is a base element of good versus evil. Good being equal to "cause no harm to others" and evil being equal to "do what you want to others".

Going back to the original "religions" there are moral lessons to be found. Yes, the thieves have corrupted the original meanings of the lessons for their own purposes, but that does not mean one should disregard the entire item because of the selfish need for control by psychopaths.
