Literature vs. Religion

Yes.  Mostly how not to act in the modern world.

Nah, I think the message of forgiveness and tolerance of Jesus in the New Testament is mostly pretty healthy.  I mean, stopping a whore from getting stoned to death and calling her attackers out for their hypocrisy is pretty brave, and pretty progressive.

Some of the sayings in proverbs and so on give a kind of self-help-book food for thought as well.
