To be fair, religion is a much more abstract concept than people give it credit for.
Think early humans engaging in ‘shamanistic’ rituals (taking psychedelics) and trying to make sense of what they saw.
I believe a lot of the early interpretations of religion have just been bastardized by conmen and those who don’t care to understand the truth.
I like the one about not being able to save everyone who is drowning.
Some people will just try to pull you down with them.
I recommend watching ‘Undone.’ It’s another show by Bojack’s creator, Raphael Bob-Waksburg.
