I believe it is an evolutionary process to come to that realization, and a matter of extraordinary maturity, and honesty, to admit it. But, then, not everyone evolves.

So we can assume you think you HAVE evolved to extraordinary maturity and honesty? There is plenty of objective truth concerning the reliability of the Bible, ignoring or minimizing it is hardly honest to me or mature.

Yes, I realize that different cultures created different deities and that each claims to be the "true one". I do think it takes certain amount of maturity and honesty to realize and admit that this is something man-made, and not made in heaven.

There is plenty of objective truth concerning the reliability of the Bible

Only on faith, and that's not objective, but subjective.

ignoring or minimizing it is hardly honest to me or mature.

It's not minimizing anything, but recognizing that man created his own religions.
