The very idea of one God for everyone has led to all sorts of deep-set difficulties, imo.
Good observation. I'm starting to think that way myself, but I'm not quite there yet.  I found a book the other day, chosen in a hurry in the short space between getting off a train & onto a bus, on the way to a Hospital appt, & bought to kill the time in the waiting room. Its thesis is that the modern world has become identical to that of the ancient world of Greece & Rome in all manner of ways. I never got beyond the introduction, the wait being mercifully short, so I haven't yet got to the god & godesses chapter.
Actually, I've thought for a while now that the most human manifestation of religion is ancestor worship, but I recognise that keeping your dear old grandma's bones under the bed doesn't really go with the C21st century lifestyle.
Of course it could just be entertaining bullshit.
As ever buyer beware.
link didn't work but the book is Full Circle by Ferdinand Mount.
