Atheism could be seen as humanity’s starting point—early humans probably didn’t walk around with a clear “god concept” in their heads. Over time, though, some people might have introduced these ideas—maybe to guide society, maybe to gain influence—and slowly those ideas evolved into what we now call religions.

If you look closely, most religious texts feel a lot like story-driven works. They revolve around central characters and unfold like narratives that end with a moral takeaway. For example, the Bhagavad Gita revolves around Krishna, and the Bible has foundational stories like Adam and Eve. At their core, these can easily be seen as stories meant to teach values and principles.

What’s frustrating is how many people have taken that a step further—not just believing, but turning rigid and unquestioning about it. Instead of treating these as thoughtful narratives open to interpretation, they’ve become fixed, unquestionable “truths” for some. That shift from belief to dogmatism shuts down curiosity and any real discussion.

And honestly, if this trend continues, don’t be surprised if a few hundred years from now we’ve got “Lord Harry” and “Hermione Deity” being worshipped too 🤣🤣
