NO, more like not enough humans look at the bigger picture.
You can get stuck on all the different colors and flavors of ice cream and forget that it is all ice cream.
Humans falsely think that their behaviors come from a club label, that they are jumping off the print of a book, no, it is the opposite. WE, write down our bad guesses as a projection of our own desires as a species.
It is no different the mistake humans make when they watch the weather and hear "scattered thunderstorm" then call then think the weather reporter is an idiot because it didn't rain. They don't consider the entire area collectively which is far bigger than looking out your own window.
Christians and Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists certainly have different details yes, but in our collective history as a species, not enough humans face the fact that there was a time before any written religion, and our species was still being cruel and compassionate like we can be and are today.
It is not out of nowhere to offer a wider perspective.
