When I was growing up I really wanted to believe. But once I started seeing the same "I got it right" claims from all the world's religions, and started noticing all the mythology and superstition in all of them, the only reasonable conclusion I could come to is humans merely like what they are sold.
It is a frightening proposition to think of "all this" being a product of a super cognition, even a "si fi" version, where some think we are the product of a giant Bill Gates. That would put humans in the position of being mere lab rats at best.
Hard to swallow humans being the most important species on this planet, much less the universe knowing just on our planet it has had had 5 mass extinction events in 4 billion years, and that our species has only been around in it's current form 200,000 years with only about 10,000 years of written language, and only recently western concepts of checks and balances on power.
