Nope.

Literally everything we know about the world around us used to be believed that divinity was involved. The sun coming up and down. Volcanoes. Lightning storms and rain. Agriculture. And more. 

None of them have divinity involved. Chances are infinitely higher that the route that considers divinity will be inaccurate since it's been wrong about every other thing

Like what

If you see that Wendy Wright interview, she does exactly bonzobana said.

With regard to "like what", I already gave examples. But to expand: Lightning was thought to come up because the gods were angry. Nope, just electrons bouncing around in the atmosphere. Crops growing was thought to be because the gods were pleased with your work, so they grew your food. Nope, it was just plants growing in a good farming season. Thought that the gods were shaking the earth, for some reason, and that caused earthquakes. Nope, tectonic plates. Thought gods caused possessions (via demons). Nope, epilepsy. Thought gods caused eclipses. Nope, just the moon moving in between the earth and sun. Thought gods caused diseases and sickness (also, via demons). Nope, germs.

You see where I'm going with this?
