Oh, so you don't hold any beliefs? Like belief in your senses and in your reason?
ALL religions are man-made control mechanisms.
Is that assertion a belief or you know it as a brute fact somehow? Kinda like a dogma?
Had you any knowledge of philosophy (and epistemology in particular), you'd know believing is a prerequisite for knowledge (JTB theory of knowledge).
For example for me to know A is the case:
A needs to be true
I have to believe A is true
I have to justify my belief of A being true.
Edit: What could possibly lead one to have a 'belief' that the 'one true all-knowing, loving god' would send 'his one and only son' into a pack of bronze-age illiterate goat-hearding jews, and that his 'sole purpose' was to be 'sacrificed as a human' so that all the rest of the humans could be 'saved' from original sin by being 'spiritually washed in his blood'? The mental gymnastics that are required for this are at Olga Korbut levels.
Maybe. What's your standard for determining this to be false? What's your alternative grand-narrative and how did you verify it?
Just as I was expecting you spouted normie-tier level stuff. I hope it's just an age thing because I used to say things like that in my early 20's thinking it was deep.
