It can only be applied in theory. Anthropology is about constant retrospective about what evidence we can find, and how we can extrapolate a commonality from it. In terms of technological progress, it's very easy to discern what cultures did and didn't invent, but whether or not a serpent has the same iconography as another culture is up for debate. The desire to find that commonality is spiritual in nature, because science has little regard for defining commonality in something just because they look alike.

And yeah, OP. These are the kinds of people who are going to try and argue my stance. I'm not an atheist either, but you can clearly see how this is more about creating organisation outside of government for these sycophants, than actually becoming closer to the prima materia. I do hope you decide on this all for yourself though, be vigilant, but don't think you need to cement your spiritual beliefs to gain the creator's sympathy, more than anything they just want to see you embrace the pursuit.

The thing is OP, the hypocrisy is intended.

All of Christianity is rife with this bluff of creating situations that are clearly indicative of human literary bias, and every single doctrine is composed with the limited knowledge of people from that time. The only new defining thing about Christianity in respects to monotheistic religion from antiquity is a constant "Oh, you figured out the discrepancy? Well that's part of the test, and if you don't believe so, you got played by the devil". There is literally no winning against christians because of this, it's like trying to argue with your childhood friends where you can clearly see their traumas have totally contrived their outlook on the world.

There are entire parts of the bible editted, to include a popular novel from the 12th century, that was purely done just because the papacy is willing to assimalate literary ideas of the time to increase it's popularity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Legend

The truth of it all is that a book can never describe the infinity of time, and the closest thing to a true papacy is congress of people. These systems are definitely advertised as rife with corruption, but this is the saving grace of actual democracy, a willingness to oust it's foul components, as opposed to the clear corruption that has overcome any of the christian theologies.

Governments are meant to be boring, romantic fantasies of the past are an opiate
