I don't know if religion influences culture more than culture influences religion, but the too are indeed connected. But does this make religion the problem?

In a sense yes. Think of the reason behind many actions carried out in the times. Religion appeals to a higher purpose. In the name of god encompass the spirit of justice, all that is good, all that is pure and all that is giving/fulfilling in life and creation.
The means at which this deity is appeased is also the tool used to measure ones purity.
