How do I know this? Because proof that all
religions lack historicity already exists.
Judaism was initially polytheistic, and
borrowed monotheistic ideas from Persia.
Solomon might've been the same as one of the
mythological Persian kings from Shahnameh.
Moses' story was an allegorical tale circulated
during the Egyptian conquest of Sinai.
Christianity is neoplatonism-+pythagoreanism
and Christ is an amalgamation of various
myths, from Osiris to Mithras. Muhammad was
the name used for Christ in Arab Christian
offshoots and the conquest of Mecca was
really the conquest of Jerusalem. I can go on.
People adhere to religion because it binds their
communities. Some believe it literally, others
allegorically. Even fewer like me are culturally
and ethically Muslim, because no matter what,
you can't escape your upbringing
