But if gods can’t be shown to be alive, that fascinating tale must be made up.

I understand several gods were born of virgins, died and resurrected themselves. Seemed to be quite the trend back in the day.
They also seemed to be quite chatty at times, to individuals up mountains or in caves. Not so much of any of that happening these days apparently. There's football stadiums full of believers begging for a sign and god doesn't show up. He's either busy, indifferent, made up or dead. Either way, it makes no odds. We're on our own and there ain't much point worshipping someone who won't fix shit like cancers, famine and mental weather/geography or simply can't because they're unreal or dead.

Time people realised that and stopped wasting so much time effort and money on pretending it ain't so. Put the same amount of effort into being nice to each other and spent some of that religious wealth on research and feeding the poor and the world music get be a better place.
