Wow....I think that there is a lot to be said on both sides of this coin. Religion as a structure is almost flawless as a form of control. It does however offer solace to those who need it. Although religion itself is always spoken of in the context of organization, spirituality on the other hand is free and roaming. You have those who are so disgusted by the misuse and fundamentalism of religion, using it as means to war and persecution that polarize the argument.
It always struck me as odd that if there is something, God what have you....that we believe we can understand it. I think that is the biggest arrogance of human kind. To lay claim on such an abstract notion as to be able to formulate laws and structure is absolute bunk. It is one of the first way humans learned how to cope with their finite knowledge of the world and the unexplainable things in it.
It all depends though....If you look at different sects of Christianity the message is so messed up its unreal. From the Gnostics to full fledged Roman Catholicism, the idea that the world in which we live and even so far as to say ourselves is so flawed that we cannot even attempt to understand God, we have to go through a god like super man works ONLY on the basis that we are evil and flawed.
However, I believe that (and this is going to sound very Aristotelian) that divinity comes with the use of the higher faculties of what we are. We are thinkers, we understand and learn thus we are using what is most unique among all things. This curiosity should not be satisfied, and in the end we will all find out. Aristotle said that happiness is a activity, not just passing pleasantries. Life, love and knowledge is an endless pursuit, something which we must not forget. That right there....for me is "God".
