Non human agency concepts like god or other supernatural events have existed since the dawn of time. Primitive humans had these concepts, thusly, it’s not out of place to call these concepts primitive, because they are. What’s out of place are misplaced accusations of settler colonialism, especially when these colonialists used primitive concepts, like god, to justify their barbarism.

Regarding holding on to belief systems, it appears you’re projecting, it’s not me trying to turn mysticism into secularism/atheism.
