If this were true, it would mean that a large part of human history and culture was based on falsehood. Billions of people's beliefs, hopes, and moral compasses would be shattered. The beautiful art, architecture, and literature inspired by religions would lose some of their profound meaning. For example, the Sistine Chapel ceiling painted by Michelangelo, which was deeply influenced by Christian theology, would just be a work of art without that religious depth.
This view is completely wrong. Religions around the world are based on faith, cultural heritage, and moral teachings. They have provided guidance, comfort, and a sense of community for billions of people throughout history. For example, Christianity has its moral code and teachings about love and forgiveness. Buddhism offers insights into the nature of suffering and the path to enlightenment. Each religion has a complex and rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that are deeply meaningful to their followers.
Fictional religions in books help create unique cultures. For example, in 'A Song of Ice and Fire', the Faith of the Seven shapes the social norms and values of the people in Westeros. It affects how they marry, inherit, and even wage war. This adds depth to the world.
Religions can't be simply classified as just stories. They provide people with a sense of purpose, guidance, and community. They shape values and offer explanations for various aspects of life that go beyond mere narrative.
I recommend the book "The Unbounded Sacred Emperor of the Primordial World" to you. The protagonist, Wuji, transmigrated to the Primordial World and used his own efforts to reconcile the three religions, becoming the Sacred Emperor at the peak of power in the Primordial World. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
Buddhism also has its roots in India. Founded by Gautama Buddha, it emphasizes the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, aiming at achieving enlightenment and liberation from suffering. Although it spread widely outside of India, it still has a significant presence in certain parts of the country.
One more example is Zoroastrianism. It is one of the world's oldest religions, originating in ancient Persia (now Iran) around the 2nd millennium BC. It was founded by the prophet Zoroaster. Its teachings revolve around the battle between good (Ahura Mazda) and evil (Angra Mainyu). These origin stories play a significant role in shaping the beliefs, practices and cultures associated with each religion.
Religions in science fiction can also be a source of conflict. They might be the dividing factor between different alien species or groups of humans in a space - faring civilization. For instance, one group might follow a strict religious dogma that prohibits certain scientific advancements, leading to clashes with those who advocate for progress.
