I don't think scripture needs to be perfect to work.  If a scripture is 90% right, that should be enough to produce a decent society.

I think the main problem with Christianity is the Trinity.  This is borderline polytheism.  The Trinity works if they can keep it as a unified whole, but breaks when the 3 split apart.  This basically happened with American Protestantism.

Of course religions can have other problems.  Muslims are far from ideal right now, and I don't think the problem is intrinsic to Islam but is rather the result of other factors.  So all this is complicated.
