Obviously not. Religion sets forth an ideal, an ideal to be striven for that is often difficult and even sometimes impossible to achieve. It's the striving that leads to betterment, and religiously speaking, failure doesn't happen when the commandments and laws are broken but only when one gives up on trying to keep them.
