There are lessons to be learned from the Bible. Religion is certainly about controlling the masses, sure, but control back then wasn't as self-destructive as it is today.

Some religions don't eat pork because pork used to make people sick. Not eating pork was pretty damn good advice at one point in time. The messages about usury are extremely relevant today, and always ignored.
