think of this: humanity started building cites in a 'flood plain' out of mud and straw as building materials because that's all there was. because that's where the land is fertile and the crops will grow!
the thing about a floodplain though... is the floods... yup. you build your shit out of mud and straw and the food comes... bang. your shit is washed away. life was hard.
after a bit, you kinda noticed that a few days before all your shit washed away, there was a storm in the mountains! that's where God lives, we need to stop pissing him off so our shit doesn't wash away again. Shazaam! priest are created and religion is born.
all of our current religions other than possibly Scientology were all 'intellectually, spiritually created' circa 500-300 BCE. religion or concepts of spirituality need to catch up if we are to proceed from this point on. in my opinion.
bronze age spirituality with digital technology and more = mismatch
