All this religious gloss makes me think that this is all a load of bullsh*t.. respectfully.
Yes, religious dogma and ideology are human, but the matter isn't as simple as referring to it that way.
Remember that the transcripts talk about the hyperdimensional element in human activities, including religious ones.
It's well known that the origin of religions is terror, the fear of the unknown that stems from the terrible behavior of nature, which has claimed humankind's lives with countless catastrophes since time immemorial.
This has been exploited not only by the leaders of various religious associations but, as you say, by all the cryptic and mysterious aspects of "secret" societies that always hold people captive through mental manipulation, even if their members don't want to accept it.
When you have true consciousness, you don't need that kind of rite or any other kind of ceremony.
Regarding the transcripts being based on trying to be objective, that is indeed the case, but remember that we live in 3D, and here, in this Density, it is very difficult to have or be objective.
When you claim that "honestly the transcripts blow any of these attempts out of the water, its not even close." " that seems very healthy to me because it means that reading the sessions has had a very beneficial effect on you, as it has on a large number of people who have expressed this thanks to reading the transcripts, which have transformed their lives, as most of the new members continue to express.
Your phrase "That's why everything has to be cryptic":
A day ago, something very curious happened regarding that phrase you said, and you have anticipated what the United States government has just announced: Secrecy.
Now, to avoid reporting anything undesirable, the United States government will invoke the "State Secrets" privilege to hide any information it doesn't want the public to know. A kind of secrecy very similar to what you refer to in your statement, but much more dangerous, politically speaking, because what would happen if all countries invoked that same privilege? They could easily do so.
