Religion is then a relationship of self abuse?
It is self abuse in the sense that we do not collectively enough as a species understand the power of our own ignorance. We value more our flawed perceptions than we do the rigors of testing data. So we bang our heads against the wall seeking placebo patterns that are nothing more than our imaginations.
It is the self inflicted abuse of gap filling. It is mind herion.
