Religion is not a puzzle for the intellect to solve, nor a system to critique. The Unseen can only be mapped in symbols, carried in rhythm, and felt in resonance. This is why Baha'u'llah wrote in metaphor. Imagery is the soul’s compass. Every symbol is a hint of Reality, an invitation, not a claim.

While our metaphysical frameworks differ, we have a point of resonance: that God is not a “being” among beings, but rather the ground or principle of existence itself. Baha'u'llah described God as the “unknowable essence”, even as all things depend upon that reality for their being.

I asked Copilot to summarize your article. It has many resonances with Hannah Arendt's concern about how totalitarianism rests on a simple ideological idea, which the masses embrace and use to justify atrocities (hence the total dislocation from reality).
