Genus you said,
Humans have been erroneously ascribing attributes to God since our ancestors first looked up at the sky or experienced their first frightening thunderstorm.
That’s a judgment, not an observation. For it to be an observation, you would have to know the attributes of God then compare them to what humans have ascribed to God. Then you could observe the error.
This is what I’m saying about belief. Even though you know your beliefs are the result of human history, not of direct observation, you still see them as true. From a naturalistic point of view, we can create a better concept of God, ascribe attributes, make it more useful and functional, but there is no God out there that we getting right or wrong.
