Well lets give human gullibility the credit, they built off of the prior superstition of Hebrews who drew off the polytheism of that prior. And our species once was painting animal gods on cave walls.
We really cant blame any human back then for buying either polytheistic crap or monotheistic crap, they simply did not know better. But to say all our evolution which allowed us to make all those bad guesses as a species, can be overturned in one generation is a bit lofty. I think the more people learn and rely more on technology and science the less relevant religion becomes.
I think instead of blaming, we need time to wake up from a very bad dream, the delusion we self inflict called superstition. It is a self inflicted Hoax, all of it no matter what religion or what point in history. The Egyptians falsely believed the sun was a thinking being for 3,000 years.
