I've said it before and will no doubt say it again - there may or may not be a god and it would be lovely if there was one. However, there can be no doubt whatosever that organised religion based on purported visions, prophets or messiahs or any alleged "evidence" must by definition completely self-contradict the very basis of their existence.
Reference to ancient texts prove nothing, since these texts are themselves man-made stories based on tittle tattle and wishful thinking.
It would be just as easy to pick up a book, say "Shadow the Sheepdog" by Enid Blyton as a starting point, and use it as the kernel of a new religion and add new insights and visions into the meaning and moralities within.
