I believe the Sons of God were people who kept the precepts of God. Sons of me were the irreligious.
The Sons of men found the daughters of the religious to be pretty enough for marriage and they all married each other.
Just like they do today.
Preachers don't like that use in Genesis 6 because they want a more prosaic interpretation of an otherwise very frightening saga in human history.
“I believe the Sons of God were people who kept the precepts of God.”
You “believe” based on what? You just pulled it out of your ass. Why would their offspring be noted as very different from all other usual mating if the couple were regular humans?

You are correct. There were 2 distinct lines following Cain’s posterity. Cain, Nimrod, etc.....the wicked on the earth. Eventually God even had to destroy the whole earth with a flood due to this evil line, saving only Noah and his family.
Intermarriage between the Godly and wicked was a huge problem in the Old Testament. God repeatly warned against this. We are only asking for trouble.
Some believe the sons of God in this context are angels.....as if Angels get turned on by human female. Poor Bible Scholarship. Jesus even said Angels are different and do not marry, etc.
There is so much poor Bible scholarship these days....pretrib rapture, immortal soul, hell that tortures people forever....(people don’t study the word forever)....etc. I think it’s all related to modern day dispensationalism. The view OT as Jew and Law, NT as Christian and Grace. All to get rid of the weekly holy day...they don’t even keep Sunday anymore. At the protestants of old kept Sunday, the whole day as the Lord’s day. They kept the wrong day in the right way and I think God honored that.
According to Josephus, a first-century Jew who was alive during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, they believed angels had children with human women.
"For many Angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good; on account of the confidence they had in their own strength. For the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call Giants."
