Religions served this purpose very well considering events of the last 2000 years. The documentary doesn’t fight against a god, just religion. I don’t attend church or pray but I do believe that there is a greater being out there but I must say, even if there is no god and everything is based strictly on astrology. You cannot deny the fact religion has brought out some of the best in people. These kinds of films tie my head in knots. I have in a debate with myself because I have points of agreements and disagreements.
My disagreements with the documentary are as follows. The problem with a lot of this is that there are historical texts that speak of Jesus and texts that prove the existence of all of these 12 disciples and Jesus. For this stuff to hold water all of these men would have to be fictional and they are not.

I have a personal "theory", everything in existence is made up of cosmic dust and when life on earth dies it simply returns to the planet while the rest of the world carries on. It’s simple and makes sense. It’s just not as beautiful as religious ideas. Anyone who understandsthe history of astrology from ancient Mesopotamia knows that everything even remotely religious is based on it. Now I understand why Christians have always been against astrology. They tell people that the zodiac is evil and part of the occult so that people wouldn't learn this truth. I do think the maker of this video is looking at itmetaphorically, maybe he's just showing that there is evidence proving God is not real, or
