My takeaway after reviewing religions?

After running this humorous, yet complete review of religions, where they come from, what they entail and what they promise, I’m even more skeptical about the whole story and not surprised that they are losing ground very fast in most educated countries. 

What religions should have done in the beginning of the 20th century, was at least for monotheist faith, get their act together, embrace more ecumenism and break into their staunch traditions and huge egos, to at least tell the world that their God is the same, which is still unclear at this point in time. Also, find an elegant way to explain that holy books cannot be taken too much textually. 

The afterlife portion would have been another huge challenge, but suffice to say that when one begins with improbable and caricaturist material, it’s hard or rather impossible to unify views. So, for me, this reinforces the fact that organized religions are looking less credible as time goes by, science progresses and education’s reach widens. 

In order to keep their faith alive, organized religion can only act on three levers: Revert to ancient times, ignore science, suppress education through a variety of tools including social-media propagated lies. Not a pretty picture and a huge black eye on all religions, especially as this Israeli-Palestinian war rages on.
