@RebYidd23 what I mean by religion is Monotheism. A single force controlling the world. Basically what was introduced by the Torah to the world.
The ancient view of Gods were basically people with powers. Superheros. The Gods didnt dictate morality they were just a means to get what you wanted so you had to placate them. Give sacrifices to various deities and get what you are asking for. The ancient deities themselves were also after power and lust. They were the same as humans just with superpowers.
