Your claim that religions become perverted is an attempt to eliminate all the "bad cases" from consideration.
Religion does not claim to be divine, religions, or most religions, claim to have access to divinely revealed truth, and assert the existence of deities that provide this alleged truth.

From an outsider's perspective, in aggregate, religion appears to me to be a negative influence on human society. I'm not going to buy into your "perverted religions" argument, because it is a cheap way of avoiding agreeing with the claim I just made. There is no rational way for outsiders to distinguish the irrational assertions made by religions, to categorize those which are "unperverted" from those that are "perverted". It is all childish nonsense, fairy tales, myths, legends. Some of it is harmless in itself, some of it horrendous, however the fact that religions train people to believe irrational nonsense, both good and bad and indifferent, is not harmless.
