Because of entropy, Bronze Age people were smarter than many of us are. Almost all of them understood that God exists, even though they realized that they didn't know much about Him. That's why they had all those gods. They were trying to fathom what God was all about, and they all had their own idea.


Some people who say that they are atheists, haven't thought atheism through enough to realize that atheism doesn't really exist as reality, and that the fact of it not existing as reality makes it a religion. So, these people are smarter than the standard atheist who hates the fact that atheism is a religion, and not reality.


That's part of the point. Atheists need help.



The part of the Abrahamic religions that became Christianity is the only part that is saving people for eternal life, in Heaven, with God, and in eternal joy.
