The sith religion is a version of the jedi. They both use the same force and they both have an idea how the galaxy should be, both wants to create order. They are not oppsoites.
If you watched the new rebels episodes the "portal temple" connected both jedi and sith temples.
The conflict between them is that both want to have power, both want to be dominant and both sees itself as the only way to order and peace.
The instruments are different however.
The jedi want to "redeem" rather than "destroy" their enemies, while the sith are vica versa.
IMO, neither of them is good or bad. They are more or less the same. Neither the Republic system nor the Empire system worked properly, so basicly what we have learnt that they both failed.(that is the main issue with the new triology. It should show us an alternative system/idea which is worth to fight for. Currently, well it is not happening.)
The ones are the de facto gods in the sw universe. I and my friends had a really intresting dispute about these episodes in clone wars, what was its purpuse, what was its message, and whether it is only a deist idea and whether it is blasphemious or not.
I think it is worth to rewach SW and try to analyse the sith and the jedi from a religous or phylosophical point of view.
