I think religion can stop people from reaching a deeper spiritual experience. I don't know what the nature of god is, but I know what religion teaches us isn't right.

Believe in the atomization of my feelings? What do you mean?

The Creator isn't the way you think, the way they taught. Jesus spoke words which were misremembered, or changed due to the influence of evil. It's near useless to suppose that anything written about him contains enough objective truth to work with.

I'll never be an atheist, because I experience objective reality way too often to ignore the fact that there is a Creator. I am open to what that means, but I have already figured out that all of the named-gods of human history are no more than demiurgic figures who have been used to further evil. I can experience these things without giving away my soul to some demonic god from the desert.

If Jesus were to alive today, people like you would bow to him. Then, when he leaves and all you have left to your connection to the divine are his apostles, you'll bow to them.
