Well, maybe >mischaracterize< wasn’t the most accurate word. What you did was answer X when I was actually talking about Y. It’s true that you didn’t explicitly ascribe X to me, but you behaved as if I was talking about X, though I wasn’t. I was talking about Y. You did misunderstand me on purpose so as to avoid commenting on my topic : the fraud committed by the humans who lie about their “relation” to higher powers (for gain).
Anyway, this is boring now. You can have the last word (last fallacy in your case).
And why should religion be credited with that kind of thing? If, for instance, catholicism hadn’t existed people would have used their resources to build beautiful “secular” buildings instead of cathedrals.
I do like mythology and fairy tales. They can be very beautiful. But to sell fairy tales as if they were real is fraud.
