There are atheistic religions. Just look at the North Koreans. The problem never was with "religion", as that's basically a way of thinking of core values. In that regard, everyone is religious, as they have a hierarchy of value. Doesn't really matter to me if you call your hierarchy of value by a particular name, or insist it be nameless. What matters is what those values are, and how behavior will affect others in adhering to those values.
So to your point, I guess it depends on which scriptures you're referring to. There's lots of them, and they all have a rich history in which the context applies.
Long-haired men are associated with a tendency towards being a primadonna. I've got nothing against long hair on a man, but primadonna's are tough to get along with. Probably why people didn't tolerate Jesus.
