I think the opposite - all the mystical bullshit is what detracts from The Truth - it's too subjective for laypersons to comprehend.
The little 'Legalese Torah' I've read into actually seems like an application of moral conduct applied to the real world. Less a religion than an instruction book for living well.
It's funny, the only reason I check my shitty facebook account is to read the 'Jewish Thought for the Day' I have plugged in there - and I nigh-on always find myself agreeing with it. It's just good, sound advice, from our friends at the Chabad on Campus International Foundation.
Today, for instance..
"Fighting Crime
If you tell a child, “Keep this rule because if you don’t you will be punished!” the child has two doubts in his mind: Maybe he won’t be caught, and if he is caught, maybe the punishment won’t outweigh the crime.The child has to know that there is an eye that sees, an ear that hears --that there is a Higher Unseen Being to which he is answerable. This is the only way to reduce crime"
I hate God, but I can't not agree with that shit.
