So you're not even willing to give a yes or no to improving your own life and the lives of those around you in the here and now? I mean, I get that ultimately in something like Childhood's End, the generation that benefited from it was literally the last before inevitable extinction so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the kind of thing you're getting at (but it sounds like you're descending into the kind of nihilism that theists accuse us of and should piss us off because it shouldn't be true). But we're ignoring that for the sake of this argument, and also realistically we'll probably have hundreds more generations to enjoy or deny this hypothetical before a massive evolutionary shift happens anyway.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
