That's an interesting take on it. Also, thinking about how we've come to a scientific understanding of most of the things that were previously sacred magic of sorts perhaps gives us a sense of being above all of it.

I'm not religious and I'm certainly not a proponent of orthodoxy in nearly any aspect of life, but I always feel that trying to transcend naturally existing things is a fool's errand. One example is illustrated by our recent understanding of antibiotics and how they destroy our gut biome, and how that might be a really big problem.
