Religion is just a primitive way of understanding the universe and creating order in societies. An anecdotal way of making sense of the unexplained, while also an attempt at law. It is foolish to rely on it now, when better explanations exist for the phenomena, and more concrete accurate laws have taken shape.

That is not to say that religious texts are completely useless. They bestow knowledge, similar to how a grandpa would teach grandkids or something. But they shouldn't be treated as sacred words, unmutable, but as elder knowledge to draw wisdom, like a novel, or a proverb. That is, as a metaphor.

I do not know whether humankind will ever completely understand the universe, but it sure is much more interesting and comprehensive than any faith deems sufficient.
