I'm an agnostic atheist. No clue whether there's a Devine origin to all this or if there's a god or multiple. All I know is, if there are gods out there, they either A)don't give much of a shit about our blue marble, B)they do but don't seem to do much or C)are sadists.

Either way, worshipping such creatures seems a tad out of place.

So I live my life assuming there's no god, we created a father figure because we're scared and alone and needed something to give us some purpose, no better tool for that than an almighty and omniscient god to lend credence to an elder's idea of order.

Doesn't mean I'm a big fan of scientism or don't think scripture has some kernels of wisdom, just like any other book.

But you can have the benefits of religion and spirituality without the corrupting elements that come with dogmatic worship. The idea of religion being a language virus, re-writing neural pathways, dulling critical thought, seems a valuable one.

But it doesnt stop with religion sensu stricto, people tend to turn things, ideas, people they like into a religion.

So caught up in their own narrative, not stepping back at regular intervals to adopt a different perspective. They get upset when their reverie is interrupted by someone pointing out flaws or inconsistencies and dismiss it all in stead of making adjustments and stay grounded.

I'm mainly of the same mind - that being said, technology/society has evolved far faster than things like religious systems have been able to keep up. That's why all of this Old Testament stuff seems pretty wanky, because honestly the text was made for a different time.
