Hard disagree, religion is and always has been a means of control.

Major religions affect everyone though, it's a huge part of the problems we're having in the US right now("Christianity" though primarily)

The rise of automobiles led to the dust issues that were solved by binding the roads with tar, leading to the invention of tarmac. by jamescookenotthatone

I don't think I would consider that a religion then, maybe personal spirituality. What would be the point though unless you're just making something new up for yourself? All major religions that currently exist have been endlessly corrupted since they were introduced, and their raw original forms would likely just have revealed how different society was back when they were created.
