> I often see this interpretation that monotheism is somehow more “advanced” than polytheism, even Age of Empires suggested so but why exactly? In your life of plenty, poor people with nothing, were being ritually humiliated several times over, damming their mental health in hell. One god is less harmful to mental health. Considering religion is psychological warfare in the absence of todays personal surveillance technological world, you would have thought some religions could be more forgiving for peoples misfortune, but is polytheism a classic example of power unchecked? Hinduism was designed to normalise human deformities in a region struggling with environmental toxicity and poor health. Christianity is best for a European climate, Islam is best for a Middle Eastern climate. Religion was an attempt in the absence of simple items like pen and paper or infrastructure like schools and roads, to educate people through story telling & place names in order to protect them from harm. Thats why all Christian churches are typically built on natural healthy springs and is considered holy water. Christian churches are typically in the shape of a cross, Knights Templar churches are round. And dont look a gift horse in the mouth when its smuggling gold to and from the Crusades! Has anyone tried that in their computer games or is that a knight mare?
