Why has religion lost its way?

Worshiping something unnatural, something unexplainable, has always been a big part of life. The sun, the moon, cows, even the sea has became a part of all these "pagan" beliefs.
Now when we have a trustworthy god, one that believes in goodness in mankind and in repentance (in the new testament anyway, cause our god in the old testament would kill our son´s and rape our wife´s) people dont believe, and if they do, they just prefer a life of sin and an easier way to go through life than going to church every sunday and not cursing in front of the elderly....
Why does this happen? I think its a simple answer, our age is called "the time of artificial inteligence", we seek for easy answers, not something that would confuse our simple minds like faith, we look for straight and verifiable information.
Religion cant keep up with technology and certainly it cant hold up a candle with the few people that dont want to look for answers in the Big Book.. why are we here? why do we exist? We exist because we just do, there has been an incredible amount of theories and it just happens that i dont give a shit.. losing time and money to find out what the fuck happened? I prefer spending my money trying to help starving kids living in carton boxes on streets than knowing if i came from a gorilla. I think that if we are worthy PERSONS not worthy cristians, jews, musulmans or whatever new religion would come up in time, rewards and happiness will come, not in the afterlife, but here in earth..
So why has religion lost its way? find your own answers and believe whatever gets you through the night.

God is dead. God remains dead. and we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers?
What was holiest and mighties of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? what festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?
