You’re right... Jesus isn’t real. The Bible can be ignored. And we all live inside a big old video game. And it sits on the back of a cosmic turtle...which stands on the back of another turtle...
I don’t think the idea that we’re living within a construct that seems material but is in some ways illusory is at all incompatible with religious belief. In fact, many people of faith often will say that this material existence is not our ‘Real’ life.
If you can’t explain the actual mechanics of our awareness of existing and interacting with all of this - how it all works - I don’t think you can make declarations as to what it’s all really made out of.
“Because God Said So” isn’t ever going to be sufficient; and I don’t see what it could add to one’ss apprehension of God, either.
