What was the real purpose of religion?

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Depends on the religion
The abrahamic religions exist to control populaces and make them tolerate tyranny under the guise of being humble and merciful

It does but the true religion teaches an ordered universe that is governed by laws. By fulfilling the prophecies foretold about Him in the Tanakh, Jesus Christ's death and resurrection prove that even humanity itself is governed by His laws. Ours is not an absurd universe.

The purpose of religion is to stabilize society and help it function smoothly.

So what you're saying is, religion is obsolete now that we have the technology and years of experience needed to explore the true ordered nature of the universe and the laws that govern creation and define them in concrete mathematical terms?

No because humanity is still fundamentally broken as anyone on a history board should know and only the elect will escape destruction.
