Create a new monotheistic religion instead of clinging to the past of Abraham

It's like you're saying you are not as  good as an invisible sky daddy and you should assume the position of being down on your knees.
For what, exactly? Some promise of an afterlife that doesn't really offer any guarantee since it comes from a book written by men who were only sheep herders?
I am so fortunate that I don't subscribe to that nonsense. I can live my life knowing I'm not trying to please some made up character that I will never see. Fuck all that noise.
Lets just ignore prayer for now. I am saying that the ideal that if you do bad in life that is gonna haunt you. And that some believe life has a purpose after you die. Prayer is just a spiritual aspect of that that has gotten into a requirement in those religions. What i mean is the older you get, the more the idea that if you dont worship this god, you are going to hell. The threat is there, what i suggest is something that can shatter that old view of tensions of the past with more obvious common sense of how we see humans as.
