Peterson said something that stuck with me. It's fairly secular so don't worry.

Paraphrasing: "Everyone believes in God since God is the hierarchy of your values"

I like that. I think he mentioned it was Jung but I would rather not face that harsh reality

And your God might be alcohol, sex, gambling, hiking, looking at birds for too long, being excited about world building, geopolitics, depravity, murder, money...

But the most powerful version of God is when it is more abstract, since then we are allowed to exercise our agency to a more complete degree and maybe more importantly, we can sculpt ourselves into whatever we thinking is right

There's a lot of power just waiting patiently to be utilized
