The Western God idea still stifling

In our haste to escape the oppressive disapprobation of the Western man-god and all he was associated with, we've left behind some useful ways of looking at the world:

a. Any aspects of the world as being "designed"
We do not want to admit any agency whatsoever to the development of existence, as the highest agency we can conceptualize right now is human agency, so that if there is some agency in the development of being, we put a human face on it. That human face is for us God, and that God has been assigned by the Western cultural imagination personality traits wholly distasteful to contemporary Western life.
So though some aspects of existence seem to be inconceivably set up to work towards an equilibrium, or lower entropy states, we want to see those phenomena as doing it themselves, because that is the only rational alternative to super-agentic intervention. The example I have in mind is ecosystems.
Speech is another example. Indeed it's sort of technology, shaped to be sure by human beings and existing as a sort of artifact. To McKenna speaking is "articulating syntax" or "organizing gestural intent." "The word burst forth, full-blown, based on a platform of gestural syntax that had been maybe millions of years in its formation." So "language" in the sense of speech was developed by people, but the technology of articulation seems to have "burst forth, full-blown," suddenly, with small degrees of human intent.
I'm not suggesting we necessarily see all phenomena through the lens of divine intent, i.e. "this is here because the divine wanted us to do X with it," but as part of a existential scheme that indeed has some sort of development or movement in mind that it is realizing through our consciousness and by the phenomenon of being.

b. Non-Relative Morality
That God figure was unfortunately not only the creator of everything, but was its moral moderator: the engineer, supervisor, and disciplinarian. The annoyance with God's control over the minutia as well as the critical points of our ethical selves led smoothly, after the discarding of the God idea, into ethical relativism. Now we are too afraid to reestablish a moral order because we don't want to be associated with the taxing God. I'm not suggesting the reinstitution of absolutist morality of course, where individualism is muted in favor of the dominating ethical culture, but we shouldn't be afraid to condemn unhelpful and unhealthy modes of being.
