Selfish interests have corrupted religion. Consequently, many good-willed people have been moving away from faith as they notice their creed serves as tool for dominance and richness. Some become unbelievers due to religious disappointment. However, instead of denying the undeniable existence of God, we should refuse the inconsistent creeds, search new models and test them through the reason sieve. This is the way science evolves: a better model replaces a worse one. Why shouldn't we analyze spirituality by using the scientific method too?
I know about religion, that it tells tales, and everyone listens because we all love a good story, that is the way we think, the way we are ourselves - storied beings. Stories are scripted and these scripts develop a character of its own, a sort of aura over time, of "authenticity", of actually being true and authoritative. In one of these scripted compilations ("bible") you will find a tale of a tower of Babel. From bible gateway:
Genesis
11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” 8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.A solution is depicted by the tale. A unified humanity will destroy God by becoming like him. How is humanity unified, by all being exactly alike? No, by understanding one another in all of the diversity and differences that do and should exist, by speaking the same 'language'. God does not want humanity to speak the same language, ea to understand each other. Evil God, bad bad bad. Go to hell God. Humanity is approaching the era of full understanding of each other, we are all learning the same 'language' as that which only God has spoken until now. It's time for God to move over. Humanity is starting to understand exactly the way that God does. It is inevitable for us to reach heaven, by putting in the hard work of building that which will take us all the way. We do it here and now, while we are still alive.
