Is Religion Still Relevant?

In this video, Guruka Singh talks about what religion actually is and what it means to be "religious". Are we just using our religion to describe ourselves and our background, or are we connecting deeper, allowing the wisdom and teachings of our faith to positively influence our lives? If we want to better practice and have greater benefit from our religion, how can we do this? How do we connect deeper and eventually merge back with the Maha Atma (Great Soul)?
