Since when saying something is in our nature was an all encompassing excuse that suddenly justified any trait someone or something might have. If nature has made us a certain way, and we have acknowledged that that certain way is more limiting than otherwise, then we can go against it and that is it. Saying something is 'only natural' is not the equivalent of saying it is inevitable or consequently good you know.

Which is the case in the topic at hand. True, it is only natural that humans would develop anthropomorphic religions. But this does not means that just because it's natural it's something laudable or the limit of what our philosophical abilities can strive for.
