I would agree that power is certainly the use religion is put to primarily. It's a very powerful tool to the ruling class, or has been throughout history. The saturation Xtianity enjoys is only because the Roman Empire saw the potential for control.

This however might be the actual purpose of religion and not it's true purpose.
