If you’re asking me to defend the actions of a millennias-old institution that at one point governed most of Europe, I can’t, and I have no interest in doing so.
I’m only saying that religious (and mythological) stories contain a plethora of extremely useful, actionable wisdom about the human experience that remains true across vast stretches of time, and that we shouldn’t just dismiss them because they’re empirically correct in the way that modern humans view the world.
We’re leaving money on the table when we do that.
