When there is a religion that doesn't require faith, that will be the one. Something that is clear and coherent and makes sense to everyone who is exposed to it. Something that requires no interpretation or decoding, and that is consistent, without contradiction, and explains all existence. Something that didn't go through centuries of obvious human construction and manipulation. It would be impervious to corruption, infallible, consistent with everything else in history, and reality. And hopefully, it would be good.

A technical manual instead of a poem, in other words? I personally think we miss something by overlooking poetry.

Yes. I don't think something as important as religion should be left up to interpretation. There is too much needless suffering that results from the way it is. And if you pick the wrong one...maybe trillions of years of suffering.
