Why isn't God content with the knowledge that no other gods exist? Why does he care what a monkey thinks about the cosmos?

Sounds like something a human being would invent. Why the fuck would God care?

its about transmittimg the wisdom from generation to generation on how to get along with people and live a decent life

there are social benefits to religious practices beyond theological doctrine

Ancient people had no trouble understanding prohibitions against murder and theft. The others seem arbitrary and haven't shown any long term utility, even to the Israelites.

A plain reading of the Torah suggests that the LORD is worried about his reputation. If his own people don't worship him, that makes him look bad. Yes, this implies there are other gods, and indeed Deuteronomy 32, properly interpreted, does say the LORD is one god among many, but Israel is his special divine property.

authentic Christianity is the only belief system to solve civilizational scale game theory

that's powerful and should put some respect on Christ's name

There's a theory that speech gave humans the unique ability to lie, and that our instinct for religion evolved as a coping mechanism to compensate for it. I've tried bouncing this off a few LLMs lately and it's interesting how they react, depending on how you frame the discussion.
