No it's not comedy ,it's a mental exercise and an interesting one too. I like to watch the american evangelistical tv cannel and the preachers they display there and found that some times there are highly skilled orators ,for instance one named Joel Osteen,who under a thin cover of religious believe preach just about human morals ,how to be a good person.
Most of the preachers smear the spiritual food they are presenting to the audience with a thick layer of unconditional belief in God ,but as said, some of them know how to catch the attention of the audience touching essentially the humanly strive of being a good person.
So after all there is some substance in what you said ,only that it is an idealistic one,inexistent in real life.
I don't know the far -eastern religions but there is a possibility that some sects have this idealistic approach to religion too.
