THE GOAL OF RELIGION

Each Soul is potentially divine.

The goal is to manifest the Divine Within, by controlling nature, external and internal.

Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy, by one, or more, or all of these - and be free.

This is the whole of religion.  Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.
