You are assuming that all religion requires a personal god. You are taking the worst of religion and using it to represent the whole. That would be like my saying how science has failed in the past, with such things as flat-earth theory, Freudism, the four bodily humours, astrology, and alchemy, so it therefore cannot be trusted, because it is only a matter of time before what we think is true is proven false.

Why have you done this? I'm curious.
