Mythology isn’t a problem. The issue is convincing huge swaths of a population to believe mythology is true.

The cross. Religious mythology is not useful to society.

idk, combined with the gloomy atmosphere, it seems like its the only thing keeping OOP safe from a demonic spirit that was summoned during a sleepover using a death ritual

1 - Your question presupposes abrahamic faith.
How will we achieve moksha without Hinduism?
How will we achieve nirvana without Buddhism?
2 - dependency on <AFTERLIFE CONCEPT HERE> is due to our fear of death / the unknown combining with religion
We don’t know what and if anything happens after death because it is untestable by us for obvious reasons, but some religions still postulate an answer for reasons.

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will accept you for your virtue. If the gods are unjust, then they weren’t worth worshiping anyway. And if there are no gods, then at least you lived a good life to be remembered by .

Be a good person? I don’t need religion to live a productive life.

I agree, I was just wondering how to get to Heaven, but others have pointed out F-18s, a new Tower of Babel, etc…so I think we’re set.

If we remake the tower of babel with modern construction techniques I don’t think god could destroy it as easily.

Fair. And maybe you could put the F-18 runway at the top.
