It depends how Religion is defined. Jesus actually spoke out against religion. Many Churches today such as Joel Osteen (Largest Church in AMerica) is Non-Denominational menaing no religon just Christ/Christian. It's the catholics that were corrupt once they had power. Today fear of God stops some from being corrupt.

The Divine Messengers have been sent down, and their Books were revealed, for the purpose of promoting the knowledge of God, and of furthering unity and fellowship amongst men. But now behold, how they have made the Law of God a cause and pretext for perversity and hatred. How pitiful, how regrettable, that most men are cleaving fast to, and have busied themselves with, the things they possess, and are unaware of, and shut out as by a veil from, the things God possesseth!
(Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 11)

I can't agree, because the main root of corruption is Politics, because religions are for guiding us into righteous way. But we can find some religious leaders being corrupted due to political interaction.

Religion is used as a means of corruption.
Without it, people would find new ways to corrupt.

Disagree. No religion more corruption. People don't follow their ethics and hence end up as corrupt. Once you free the world of those ethics, corruption would grow...

As John Adams, the second U.S. president said in 1798, “We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Disagree. Christians and non Christians alike can be corrupt. Religion isn't the basis for corruption.
