It doesn't strike me as odd coincidence at all. I tend to see religion as an attempt to codify a combination of group wisdom and brilliant insights from charismatic individuals.

Fasting has been beneficial to my incurable medical condition. I'm quite encouraged by the association between fasting and religion. To me, it suggests there is something fundamentally wise about the practice and important to human health.

If there's one thing you should absorb from the Bible it's to learn some basic principles about kindness and love. Because nearly all your comments are tainted with hostility, snark, and utter rudeness. No wonder you can't hold down a job. Who would hire someone like you?
