This is an introduction to a complex problem - amid nuances galore, we discover that the real history of religion and the religious is obscured by (a) the churches and (b) our own indoctrination in matters historical, archeaological, political, and "scientific".
And all this from a man of the Cloth! From somebody so immersed in the theology of the Anglican Church, I find this is a very hopeful sign that the wholly artificial separation between scientific belief and religious belief that has been tacitly imposed throughout my lifetime is going to be bridged, and quite possibly in our time.
After all, science is simply "knowing the truth" - the truth cannot logically be compartmentalised into religious or scientific. Are not the religious dogmas simply the scientific axioms upon which the edifice of religious theology is founded?
Trigger warning - you may need to cope with the possible upending of much of your world-view, and you should be prepared to make up your own mind on the basis of this and other evidence that you may be able to find.
No need to panic - it's OK to put it into the "too difficult" box for now. But if there is truth in it, then you will have been at least partially mentally prepared for any incoming revelations (so stay ahead with freecitizen.uk!).
But it will still ultimately be up to you to decide what you do, what you may, and what you don't believe. Nobody can do that for you.

NB: In many versions of the Bible, the word "Elohim" is routinely translated / interpreted as "God". In The Keys of the Kingdom Holy Bible, a recent translation based upon no particular variant of Christian dogma, this word is included "as is". In purely linguistic terms I'm told it is a plural form of a noun whose singular form is "El".
Is there a link with Biblical names such as Angel, Abel, Samuel, Gabriel, Ezekiel, Michael, and no doubt others to numerous to repeat here? What would be the implications of such a link? I ask because I would quite like to know ...
