Religion is about the promise of a universal solution

First things first: the universe - the totality of everything that exists - is infinitely evil. There is no natural principle that prevents literally unlimited bad things from coming into existence.
It appears we may already be lost, utterly doomed, without any hope at all.
On the other hand . . . In this sentence, the word infinite is pertinent, since humanity is very much finite.

It's a bit of a longshot, but being finite, there might be some sort of abstract limit to how complex and extensive all of our problems could become (they would seem unlimited, of course). Just maybe, all our human concerns, across all reality and every level of existence, could have a finite resolution.
This resolution would be definitive, indisputable and conclusive. From our perspective, it would apply universally, to the limits of our understanding.
Of course that resolution would have to be immensely vast. In fact it would be astronomically, factorially, hyper-exponentially larger than a full description of humanity itself. It would be a philosophical, logical, and scientific quest - the greatest and most difficult achievement of all time.

Religion would have absolutely nothing to do with it.
Scientology, on the other hand, claims that the problems of human torture and suffering never really existed in the first place. They're all just part of a grand illusion, one that can ONLY be removed under the authority of the Church of Scientology.
