Is There A Real You?

So the millions of people in history who worshiped idols never knew themselves until Abrahamic religions came into play. Or do those idols count as god?

Those millions of people deceived themselves by going against their innature nature (which we call "fitrah"), which is to believe in only one God.

And their idols are not gods except in their own self-serving desires. God has no physical representation.

Sadly there is now strong evidence, really strong, against the whole idea of souls, afterlife and such like. I posted this a couple of days ago:

I've watched about 20 minutes of that video here and there, but not the whole thing. But none of those are actually evidence against souls and an afterlife. It was quite interesting so far, but the whole talk is mainly a philosophical and scientific perspective on life and the universe. I didn't hear anything there that disproves the existence of souls nor an afterlife.

To those people they were worshiping a god, and everyone who worships a god is doing it for a desire to avoid the threats and warnings of the gods who they are slaves for.
Your god for instance punishes disbelievers like me by roasting my skin then replacing it with another skin and doing that process repeatedly for an infinite amount of time. I assume you want to avoid that?
