It's also hard to discard for the fact that human beings are in fact special, well at least some of them who achieve tremendous success in science, engineering and so on and so forth. The rest of us are just trained chimps riding on the coattails of those people

the human ego created Gods
Humans cant accept that they are the same as every other living creature that is born lives and dies

We have to believe we are special and theres more to it than just this one life

I don't remember, it came up accidentally in the context of the nature of life. I had mentioned that it's a weird thing that material items and humans go through the same cycles. For instance a car that rolls off the manufacturing line. Be it a grand luxury flagship or a modest economy car, both of them have their moment of glory where they are shiny new and everyone takes note of that, much like a woman I said, surely you remember when you were a  young hot cake walking the street with men tripping over their feet at the sight of all that goodness, and just like the car becomes old, dated, and never quite recaptures that factory glow, so too the woman ages and fades into unremarkability. The end is the same for all, the car ends up in a landfill and the human ends up in a hole in the ground. Life is tragic for material and living beings alike.

Religion, like many other things, might be connected to The Phenomenon. Quite a few events in the Bible could be explained as UAPs, and radiation from a UAP. Russian cosmonauts have stated they saw angel like figures outside their spacecraft.
The Fatima Portugal religious event in 1917 makes sense if you compare it to what UAPs have been observed doing in the past hundred years.
Back then people had no explanation for what they saw.
Could very well be that humanity has been tricked (for whatever reason) by the Phenomenon into thinking / believing in Gods, angels, devil, prophets, miracles etc
