Do religions tend to simplify life, making this life "boring"?

Known many Christians and other religious folks from my time, ask them what they think about life and maybe 1 out of 5, some idiot will respond saying this life is boring, our five senses are just so "normal" and unexciting. When you learn about the uniqueness of life and how life is a spark of chance, out of the possibility from google to infinite, as I grow older every little thing from turning the light on from a switch to how miles and miles of nerves cooperate together in your brain just by reading this, our world really amazes me. There is so much to discover about life itself and the place we live in, yet dumb responses as "life is so regular and boring" come out of the mouths of fully grown adults, more than halfway into their life cycle. Its very scary that we still live in a world like this. Doesn't religion tend the simplify the complexity of life, and if so, why do people continue to live this 15th century lifestyle when we can do so much better, discover so much more, reach the point of science and technology to finally live the lives of these "Gods" we are so deluded towards? I would very much like that, or at least try and set the paths for our future children.
