Tbf dwarven religions are like "my ancestors carved these rules with their hands to guide us forward" and elven religions are like "my ancestors got intimate with a fae, starting our race. Also their firstborn is still alive."

Meanwhile human religions are like "here is a horse that's made out of all living beings, with a woman's face too. Mortals who mount it can go to heaven for 5 seconds."

Al-Buraq painting from wikipedia. It shows an elephant's torso, feet made out of bird heads, and tail an eastern dragon. There is also rabbits and lions and so on scattered around. The painting has a sense of movement like the animals are constanly squirming and biting each other etc in a loop
