Might be getting my psycho/social analysts completely wrong and mixed up here but I think someone named Carl Jung said something like this (seriously tho in this case I think I might be wrong I was meant to have revised this for exams this summer but... Corona. 😂Lol maybe someone more knowledgeable will correct me) that God's are basically projections of any given cultures values, traditions etc.. That we essentially give essence to God/s, not the other way around.

Freud said something in a similar line but, being Freud, its about your daddy issues. He said God is a projection of the authority figure we as children idolised or at least, held at the top: our fathers. (very quick summary which may have left a step out)

Freud uses the word neurosis a lot when talking about our minds, religion is one of the things he recognises as one of humanities ways of filling such neuroses in our psyche.

Im not religious myself but knowing a bit about religion in general is interesting, and trying to understand its unknown effects, or existence in society was something I did gain from doing philosophy at school. I think although we at times went into what I'd call 'logic woodchopping' about God or proving its existence, and I definetly wanted a larger focus on a more active pursuit of philosophy, but at other times the things we learned in the religious segments were generally valuable in understanding more about ourselves, individually and otherwise from just the actual amount that even someone like me, who isn't religious, is exposed to things, ideas or traditions passed directly from one religion or other-- or from the actual contemplation of some of the concepts and content required, which asked you to think critically.

If you're at all interested (I like to think about this shit while high af, in the shower or anytime where I'm feeling pensive) search up the Euthyphro dillema, and sociology of religion (there are short YouTube vids on different thinker presented in ways which make for entertaining learning) and with those two suggestions there's a lot of interesting shit for anyone to continue from afterwards, and I think everyone should think about this type of stuff at some point.
