Maybe it depends on the church and the priest?
Some priests make religion boring and predictable, others can use their position to foster strength in the Community.
Actually, what I like most about the priest at the church I go to is he has a sense of humor.
Sense of humor can help with the sermon being preached, but that doesn't change the distortion of whatever message is being preached about and what God represents. It is not fostering genuine strength to rely on some entity\being to offer salvation for some form of afterlife that is bogus.
I myself am not religious and see it as a scourge for the most part on humanity. There is much culture worth preserving in religion, but as for the delusion of belief, that is best left behind so one can move on with their own power of personal growth and transformation.
