Can we abolish religion and build a new god, a new set of myths, and a new worship of humanity in its place?

Mediocre lyricism

Do not tempt me, Satan.

A massive fusion reactor wrought in gold and precious metals standing very tall in the sky would make me get down on my knees and worship fr thoughbeit

No

You can't build new religions the way you're thinking. It's all about tradition. You have to retcon old things and pilpul your way into pretending it was always there waiting for the arrival of the worthy (You)

Mormons already did this. Just follow their playbook

Literally what Auguste Comte tried to do

Human beings can only unconsciously deceive themselves. They are not smart enough to do so consciously forever. The corruption that comes from allowing yourself to lie eventually poisons the root and destroys the system, even if only intellectually.

Stuff that is based on assumptions will never survive.

That's just a pathological liar larping. That's all the internet is.

Dogshit songwriting. Listen to Gillian Welch's I Dream a Highway.

If God actually exists, no. Same for the gods of pagan pantheons. And they do actually exist. They're out there. You can pray to them, summon them, sacrifice to them. Call upon them and they may well show themselves to you. They were not made up. You don't get to make them up. They are real and they precede you and they are greater than you. You don't get to toy with them as if they were mere concepts, mere poetic motifs. Moderns trying to retvrn to religion and being all larpy and wanky about it is annoying. Materialists playing make-believe. "We need to reenchant the world." It's always been enchanted, faggot. You're just blind to it.

Only if this new god will actually get up off his ass and smite off topic posters.

This.

No. Myths cannot be constucted consciously.

OP did not say anything about doing it consciously, just asked if we could do it.
