You know all the stories in the bible existed in other religions before yours? Just with different names and slightly different details here and there. Every religion was made up by people from slightly altered previous religions… it’s, comically enough, just another example of evolution.
All religions are about why people shouldn’t be jerks, but most of us don’t need to believe anyone is watching us to behave. Stories are helpful, but they don’t have to have any “magic” to get their point accross. Just examples of things people don’t like or do like is enough to make it a good guiding story. A god figure is superfluous and unnecessary.

What stories are you referring to? Things like the flood narrative exist around the world because it actually happened.
Christianity isn’t about being a good person- It’s about the fact that we cannot be a good person and how we need a Saviour.
A God figure is necessary to redeem us, and whether or not you think He’s necessary doesn’t make Him any less real.
