Yes, there is one thing that made abrahamic religions popular and that humans have gained from it: weekly holidays.

The invasive disease Religion has benefited humans by forcing social evolution, simular to biological diseases benefiting us with evolutionary improvement via genetic drift & destroying 99% of all life.
Despite its benefits, it's time to develop a social vaccine, as extinctions are far more common than the very lucky outcome of the bloody past!

Whether we like it or not humanity's culture has grown hand and hand with religion. There is no possible way to separate it. Our current culture is due to religion (and vise versa). Without religion there is no Pyramids or Parthenon, there is no Brahms, no Shakespeare, no Oxford College. Some religions provide more than others to our culture. Now is everything that religion provided good? No, of course not. But gains aren't always good things.

Absolutely.

There is INCREDIBLE art, architecture, music, etc. that has been inspired by religion.

I think people who need to go to church, that makes them feel like better people so that's ok. But going and listening to the teachings of the bible which is a fairy tail is ridiculous. The church does help people but its more of a tax free business than anything..

A means of controlling people en mass.

Yes! In addition to what has already been noted, it has gained another generation of delusional and indoctrinated story tellers...
