Summary

This quote suggests that the dominant religion of a particular era will eventually become perceived as mere fictional entertainment in the future. It implies that religious beliefs are subject to change over time, reflecting the evolving perspectives and cultural shifts of different generations. Essentially, what may once have been widely held as a sacred truth can inevitably be seen as a form of storytelling or mythology by future societies. It encourages us to reflect on the transient nature of religious beliefs and the ever-changing nature of human understanding and interpretation.
