Not just a cocktail - brew not blend

To summarise the previous posts on this subject,

1. There is a disconnect between instinct for survival and faculty of self awareness*
2. Humans do not have sufficient data for problem.
3. Hence different system evolve which seek to fill this gap, to do this they propose different framework or models.

And it is these considerations that "let's get the best of all religion" crowd miss by a huge margin, for the particular model or framework (of which all religions are a subset) comes much later, it is preceded by awareness of self and then inquiry of the phenomenon. Any discussion over religion without grasping the underlying causes is a self-defeating exercise. The discussion may satisfy our need for superficial, but will invariably fail to achieve anything substantial.
Discard/reject religion, or for that matter any established hierarchy with pleasure, but do recognize what lies beneath it, human inquisitiveness !

Concluded (hopefully)

* It is this conflict which makes establishment of a value system of morals and ethics solely based on instincts impossible, in sharp contrast to other social species, which are able to reach some sort of equilibrium under influence of environmental constraints and animal instincts.
