"Primitive" people deified many forms of life -- birds, bears, rabbits, even mushrooms.
The even more offensive thing about these monotheisms is they encourage us to worship ourselves, humans, as the only sacred beings in the world, when clearly the magical web of all life is the true deity, the thing that spawned us. Call it 'the mother,' fine, just spare me the nonsense about it being a woman. Our alienation from this completely manifest deity is a toxic heresy, a thing that really will destroy us.
I don't really see you correcting this damage, but rather just coming up with your own competing form of self-worship.
Actually, female-supremacist
