Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A blunt, sarcastic verdict on religion. The speaker says its one worthwhile contribution was music, brushing aside everything else as not worth crediting. It's a deliberately sweeping opinion, delivered like a comedian's punchline, that grants religion a single compliment.
