Judging something as 'good' depends on your ethical framework. What framework do you have in mind when you ask if any religions offer good advice? After all, every religion offers good advice according to its own ethics.
Going by broadly humanistic, atheistic ethics, what is good about having a high proportion of one's life be affected by religious rules? (Whether the Orthodox Jewish rules, or in general.)
It may be worth something for people to have some low-hanging fruit for feeling as though they're doing the right thing.
That sounds like a small factor compared to what the rules actually tell people to do.
