Now that we know the world formed naturally over billions of years, and organisms evolved over time into their present forms, gods are not needed to explain anything, and they never were, or ever did.

Humanity is thankfully growing up.

Missing the forest for the trees, the intangible wisdom in religious texts is not to be misunderestimated.

All the pills and smart tvs in the world won't make you happy like knowing God will.
But it's ok, you do you little guy.

That may have been the case initially, but it turns out that many people can't function normally without the threat of an omnipotent entity judging all their actions and thoughts. Therefore it's better to keep them believing that so they can become productive members of society rather than tear down their fragile worldview in the name of "truth" and turn them into unhinged psychos.

they knew that things like the moon could affect the ocean. they just said it was a god rather than a space rock. science is wrong about things and it's okay to have a spiritual significance to things too.

some gods were just probably real people who lived a long time ago and stories of them became aggrandized.

the only problem is when claims have "just trust me bro" as their evidence with no desire to provide any real proof.

And you science fanatics are any better? You evolutionists and big-bangites flip-flop your "set-in-stone, factual, totally not theory" every 10 years or so. Sounds like it takes same amount of faith to believe in science as it does to believe in God at this rate.

I don't buy it. Why don't these supposed god's ever show themselves or give some direct sign they exist? "muh faith" is just cope.

"Science can explain everything". Then tell me why anything exists at all? Where did the universe come from, and what happened before the Big Bang? I'm not advocating for a God of the gaps, but science cannot answer these massive questions whatsoever.

Have you seen the math patterns in the KJB?
7^7 words and numbers total.
Jesus appears 490 times in the odd books, 490 times in the even books.

Father 777/3 times
Son 77*3 times

Jesus + Christ + Moses 2401 = 7*7*7*7 times

I would say the opposite. Years of watching the cycles of the year in their environment. Gods created to mark changes. Stories used to teach people about these changes via god creation myth.

That’s the problem with Abraham religions. They were a sky religion not connected to earth cycles.

Considering the Greeks came up with a rather purposeless creation myth (World born from primordial chaos followed by super powered gods fighting over supremacy) this is not the case.

Instead God(s) were use to explain circumstance of nature. Why a storm destroyed your land and not someone else's.

I'd say of all religions and mythologies you don't really get a big focus on the origin of everything until monotheism

We don't. Neither religions of logos such as science, or religions of mythos such as christianity give any empirical details on the ineffable elements of the universe, because there is no empiricism in ineffability, only paradox. This is why religions will never stop being our structural narratives, because we'll never stop chasing ineffability, no matter how advanced we get.

The ritual comes before the belief. People actually make up the beliefs to justify the rituals. Right now it's a lot of scientific experiments and social measures justified by a belief in an atheistic universe.

And yet Christian Civilization, which is the West, has become by far the strongest civilization ever to exist by light years. The difference is not even close.
One British regiment in 1890 with a couple Maxim Machineguns could have annihilated an army of Roman legions by just peppering that army with tens of thousands of bullets.

And this absolute dominance and superiority of the West, which was born of Christianity, and which all the world acknowledges by trying to become us, also proves the superiority of Christian morals like mercy and justice and taking care of the weak.
The old pagan societies just disposed of defective (or unwanted) babies. The Christians banned that garbage, damn the social costs of having cripples around, because all human life is created in God's image, has the divine spark, and must be respected and cherished.
So, by imposing a greater burden on itself, Christian Civilization also, unwittingly, forced itself to advance in knowledge and social organization as a way to take care of and even "fix" those who otherwise would be a burden.
The harder path, like not killing deformed babies just to be rid of their burden, turns out to be the most profitable path in the long term.
This is also why monogamy, rather than one "alpha" man having a harem of twenty women, is for the best. It forces society to learn how to work together and become more cohesive. No one man gets to have everything because that is morally wrong. As a result, we end up with stronger societies that more members have a stake in and will fight for.
And yes, the modern neoliberal period, which is atheistic, is tearing at the fabric of Christian Western Civilization and could destroy the enormous progress we've made.
