Re-ligion (from the latin religare) means to re-unite. The thing is, a great deal of the disunity (us vs them or me/my soul vs the world), separation (good vs evil), self-relation (using the terms from the video, or how do I believe a god perceives me and therefore how should I become a vigilante of myself), discomfort and guilt that give rise to the desire for reunification and the need for religion itself, is produced by religions themselves. And this round trip is a great business model, as well as a great tool for political control. At the end, by joining a religion, it's very easy to end up idolising the means for re-unification while perpetuating and even worsening the divisions. Or like the zen masters like to say: don't be enthralled by the finger that points to the moon.

The other thing is, no matter what you do, believe, think or say, pursuing unification is destined to fail. Once you understand that duality is an illusion created by the mind, it becomes clear that there's nothing real to address. Any search or pursuit only feeds the illusion. There's nothing real that is broken, nothing to re-unite, nothing missing, nothing to do, no one in control, and the world becomes a living paradox.
