Think about it. If there was no such thing as religious literature at all, that means someone would have to develop the idea of God naturally. The idea of God is extremely abstract and outlandish from our perspective, so how likely is it that someone would have thought of that specifically? Considering that, whoever created religious texts pretty much would have to be complete geniuses. Think about it. Shakespeare for example is lauded as a geniuses but all of his stories are rooted in reality. The creators of works such as the bible would have had to been on some other shyt to create it. The ideas of supernatural miracles, God, Satun, reincarnation, etc. would be considered far-fetched as hell or would they be considered at all. This brings me to another point.
Humans have a natural inclination to record history. We understand out mortality and we have a desire to record significant events. What if many of these religious texts were exactly. A record of the times. As crazy as many of the ideas suggested in these text are, people from those era wouldnt understand our ideology, technology, etc. from our era. People assume the human race growth is linear but it is clearly not. There were certainly more advanced technologies that have been lost over the years. Entire nations were destroyed over the years with little evidence kept back.
My point being, there is a reason these people recorded these events and there is a reason they have manifested themselves into beliefs thousands of years deep...some of these things might have actually happened. In fact if we write the majority of these works off as fiction (meaning all works from that era are bullshyt) we probably dont know what the hell happened back then at all and that would create even more questions...
