God or Creator

So if we took religion and the bible out of the way and just talked about a Creator do you think people's beliefs would change?

Most people end up following what they want to be true...

And since many believe The Holy Bible is truth then it isn't going anywhere.. So don't waste you time on that, what if...

No. Because that simply isn't possible for most. They will continue to push their "religion", because that's what their religion says for them to do.

Most note on the christian belief their book was at minimum "god inspired". Some actually take that as "written by god".

So it's impossible for them to take that out of that context.

Ultimately I think most religious belief is fundamentally tied to culture and community. Remove those factors and you're going to have less of it. As much as those of who love debating discuss beliefs in terms of philosophy and history and probability, most people don't arrive at spiritual beliefs that way.
My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition. I believe in evidence. Are there any magical based claims?

@BlueSkyKing is our existence magical?

Without the Bible how would we know the creator and what he's done? God and his word are One. You can't separate a man from his word

The fact that people have superstitions ("beliefs") at all, never mind "talk" about them among each other, is precisely where organization (religion, holy book, etc.) spring from.

It would be impossible to separate the superstitions within individual minds from their eventual organization into social clubs (religion), that's just how humans operate, they want to be part of something, together with others, for the most part. Even attacking the US Capitol over batsh-t crazy lies falls into this same kind of wanting to be part of something, even if it is utterly insane.

Whether it is formally organized or not doesn't make superstition any less of a menace to civilization or human evolution.

@CopperCicada some people say physics is a pathway to a Creator. And no personality required but a relationship on a personal level
