Why ignore the main point of my comment? I directly addressed one reason why a random turtle god and an actual religion are very different.
I was talking about traditions, yes, but to write it off as simply an "appeal to tradition" falls very short

If there is more than an appeal to tradition how would you argue for or against different religions? Religions with as much tradition as Christianity - Hinduism, Buddhism, and even some monarchies and dynasties also have the same stories that are told by millions of mouths to millions of years over generations as you say.
