This is only really an argument against taking religious texts literally which most people don’t actually do.
Tell that to the people who think I should be killed (or, at best, jailed and/or sent through re-education) for being a man lying with a man… because they definitely take that part literally (whilst otherwise getting tattoos, eating shrimp cocktail, and sacrificing their children to Molech).
I’m cool with people having a relationship with the universe. Call it “God” if you must. But, that relationship is definitely personal.
People would still think about their relationship with the universe.
