    What do you mean by details? Do you mean a name? I agree, if all knowledge were lost, names would be lost. But that’s equally true of science and religion. After all, we wouldn’t call the force of massive attraction gravity, nor would we call the property of matter mass. Nor, of course, would we call solid materials matter. So perhaps you mean something different than names. Please be more specific.

      I meant the entire beings, the lore, the stories, the mythology, the miracles, all of that shit that (almost certainly) never actually happened. Ethical principles aren’t defined by authorities, by deities. We would find those just fine if there was no religion.

        That’s a really broad and general thing you’re talking about. I’m afraid there isn’t much to say about such broad strokes, because it’s hard to prove such nebulous claims. If you’re interested in having a discussion that can actually get into the facts as opposed to vague opinions, I’m afraid you need to be more specific.
