Who said he was making a logical proposition? He's speculating on an idea - or said another way, he is presuming...

If you are going to make a point based on "presuming", you are not just presuming. You are suggesting an implication.
We can all presume, imagine, confabulate. But those are not a good basis for making broad points.
Ouch. "Presumably" isn't a logical proposition. Not even close.
I am sure there is wisdom in the different religious heritages. But the religious heritages that lasted were able to do so using a fair amount of practices and beliefs aimed at carrying along commitment to that heritage, as much or more than general wisdom (which has value beyond the religion).
(Not dismissing the value anyone gets from their practices and beliefs, where they don't negatively impact others or treat non-believers dismissively.)
