Most people on this site were raised in a culture where the dominant religions are monotheistic and thus that's the default most will go to.

Which goes to show that "how valid" your religion is is largely based off the geographic location you were born.

If someone met an Arabic Muslim, nothing special at all about that, because the region where Arabs hail from is dominated by that religion.

Now a Japanese Muslim? That's a backstory that's actually worth investing into because it's very doubtful that he lived in a Japanese community or had a heritage that was predominately Muslim.

Similarly, most Americans are only super sold and assured in Christianity because it's America, which has always been dominated by Christianity both in family lineage (passed on indoctrination from parent to child) or societal peer pressure because most people in your community are Christian.

If these people who are super sold on Christianity as an American were to have been born in Iran or Saudi Arabia instead, there's the slimmest of chances they still end up Christian.

I would insist on the premise of the most profound statement mathematics has to offer: the idea of 0 to 1. It encapsulates everything including the idea of an infinitum that exists in between every number after that. Equally alluring is the idea that matter present in all living and non-living things fundamentally works much like the infinities between numbers. There are the atoms that build bridges between eachother and form other solutions and equations that will span between now and forever.

Is it called God though? I dont know. Language is just placeholder in order for us to make sense of things anyways. Remove that and you have another kind of discussion that will never be suited for tongue that warrants inspection.

Hey man, I watched the episode of Futurama where Bender met "God", too.
