Thing is, when not being cajoled, promised or threatened by religion or faiths, those things are made so much more honest.
There are many things I don't quite understand:
1. Is there any thing/knowledge on earth that does not require any update, revision or improvement? Whether the Bible's traditions/narrations? Or the traditional concept of God/creation/etc.?
2. Perhaps: Providing positive hopes about future status (such as: Your illness/anxiety will be recovered soon. Our God/Nature bless you so gracefully! ) to oneself/others can be quite normal!
3. Perhaps: Superstitions/miracles, just like Zen stories, can be explained as parables, parables and parables, in order to illustrate some meaningful ethics indirectly!
4. Can we define some subjective constructs/concepts like beautiful, love, grace or intelligence?
Q
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construct_(philosophy)
Concepts that are considered constructs by this definition include that which is designated by the symbol "3" or the word "liberty". Scientific hypotheses and theories (e.g. evolutionary theory, gravitational theory), as well as classifications (e.g. in biological taxonomy) are also conceptual entities considered to be constructs.

Genes, evolution, illness, taxonomy, immunity
In Physics/Astrophysics
Black holes, the Big Bang, Dark Matter, String Theory, molecular physics or atoms, gravity, center of mass
In Psychology

Theories and Hypotheses

5. Perhaps: Some words like haven, hell could be merely parables for certain important philosophical concepts/constructs, including God. Who knows?

JOHN LENNON LYRICS
"Imagine"
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Q
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagine_(John_Lennon_song)
Jimmy Carter said, "in many countries around the world—my wife and I have visited about 125 countries—you hear John Lennon's song 'Imagine' used almost equally with national anthems."[44][nb 3] On 9 October 2010, which would have been Lennon's 70th birthday, the Liverpool Signing Choir performed "Imagine" along with other Lennon songs at the unveiling of the John Lennon Peace Monument in Chavasse Park, Liverpool England.[46][47]
