I might disagree. Especially if you keep in mind that theology ws born as a science, before becoming an institionised oppression system, when separated from science for that purpose.
Yes, it was born as explanation for natural phenomena in terms of human emotions, because human emotion was directly experienced and seemed to need no explanation. So when a storm was explained as the sky became angry that seemed easy to believe and one had only to discern why the sky was angry. The priest or chief or your mother explained it was because you didn't sacrifice a goat to him, or you disobeyed a rule, or you didn't eat your spinach. But there were many phenomena. Monotheism simplified the system and provided one-stop shopping...as soon as a few wars and inquisitions settled which one God was the really real one.
