The author of this book has certainly read Buddhist teachings.

Most religions with deities are actually like this.
They are all man-made.
But Buddhism and Daoism do not emphasize gods (Nietzsche also).
Or they attribute the divine to oneself.
This point was also confirmed when reading another book【The Axial Age】.
The combination of gods and religion is very powerful.
But it does not lead to the truth.
Instead, it often leads to dogma and ignorance.
This is also something the author of this book wants to break through.
