There’s very little of anything I’d call faith in that approach. Not that I’m discounting anyone for approaching religion as an anthropological construct. But this approach, in my mind, isn’t far from or really is just a softer version of the comment “religion is the opium of the masses”.

An incorrect historical construct based on the unenlightened thought processes of an ignorant population just doing the best they can to make sense of it all. And that stories are passed down and embellished and there really is no hand of god because there really is no god, only folk tales that the currently unenlightened use to placate their minds and make sense of life.

Again, not implying that is what you or anyone here believes but I see the mindset of this gent and draw a lot of fairly firm connections between the two philosophies.
