I started questioning religion around 8.

One of the major things that gets me about religion is how it basically places humanity as the center of the universe as if We are something special to a higher being.

I mean think about it for a second, don't you think that a just higher being will not have priviliges for any of his/her/it creations?

Why in the whole vast universe earth or humanity will be something special to a higher being? Have we done something in particular other species haven't to have priviliges with a higher being? Or maybe is just because religious mythology is created by human beings the reason why religion favors us?

I consider myself agnostic btw
