On crutches.
To be fair, all religions worldwide stand on crutches. They are all merely artificial constructs humans buy and sell to set up social order and to explain why good and bad happen.
Unfortunately humans will call you a bigot when all you are saying is "That was then, this is now". Nobody worldwide in antiquity had benefit of the knowledge we do now, so they made answers up. Most humans even today, just like back then, buy into the religions their parents sell them. Religion is not universal in the context one size fits all nor is it a good way of conducting political diplomacy, either nationally or globally when you consider all the competing religions and even competing sub sects of those respective umbrella labels.
Humans evolved to be social, but outside astronauts the vast majority of humans do not understand, say like Sagan did, that we are all the same, and we all have the same ultimate roots and that this is the only home we have, and that we are not as different as we paint ourselves to be as a species.
