I happen to believe that most religion is noble lie. Did Jesus actually rise from the grave? No. But in writing the magic, the authors are saying "PAY ATTENTION! THIS IS IMPORTANT!" It's becoming more and more clear that there was no Hebrew migration from Egypt across the Sinai - there's no archaeological evidence. That means there was no Exodus, no Moses - not in the way described in Torah. But because Jews believed that for thousands of years, we have kept together, kept learning, kept questioning, kept understanding. It doesn't particularly matter that it didn't happen - that's the least interesting thing about religion.
