They're just playing it safe. Extrapolating from a small dataset is irresponsible
"... and horses. Yes, horse people. You thought you could extrapolate from a single data point? Don't be ridiculous."
You would hope, but far too many people fail to even understand the shape of the hole in their knowledge, so they wouldn't even recognize what should go in that blank spot...
Then you get billions of people believing there's a magical sky daddy that will take care of us no matter what, and those words about us being good stewards of the earth is totally just about like, not pooping on the road! Definitely not about wanton resource extraction and environmental exploitation and distruction...
All those lessons about how to be a good ruler are just describing that sky daddy! They're definitely not direct and allegorical stories trying to teach what virtues to look for in leaders and which ones deserve to be dethroned... God is definitely real literally and not just allegory for leaders that are glorified, it's definitely not about humans treating other humans with respect, but about Sky Daddy playing with his toys!
