It was actually that my main reason for holding out was the idea that somewhere back in time there was some reason these religions came to be. It rested on the idea that people are not stupid and its not like someone makes up a bunch of shit and then a bunch more people just believe it and some of them run their whole lives around it.

When did I talk about 4chan. Maga runs the country currently. Its more a scenario that there is no proof but I gave a benefit of the doubt reasoning that religions could possibly have some core truth and people following them would give credence. Since its plain now that people will follow any bs it sorta throws out the scrap of a possibility it had. It already had issues with more recent religions were historical data is decent enough to see how they're view of their origins and the actual ones conflict. Given religion wise even when I was agnostic the only possible god could not be described by any religion in existence.
