Modern major religions are a mishmash of tradition and political expediency. Mostly the latter, with the intent to control minds, wallets, and reproduction. Mostly the wallets.

Jesus is addressed as “Rabbi” several times in the New Testament. It’s highly likely that he had a conventional religious upbringing common at the time.
