Uncertainty ≠ pure empiricism. It’s literally the acknowledgment that no human (or being for that matter) understands the deeper realities of existence then confidently accepting that fact. It’s the only honest perspective.

Religions are man-made fictions that scared people delude themselves into believing to alleviate suffering associated with uncertainty.

By saying and accepting that "no human understands the deeper realities of existence" is inherently a statement asserting that you understand the deeper realities of existence.

At best, in your statement, the most honest is accepting that its a possibility to not understand, not the certainty.

How do you know "no human understands the deeper realities of existence"?

You’re not engaging in good faith here. Again, being assumptive (incorrectly) and fallacious.

I am a human, so by stating the fact that no human understands the deeper realities of existence, I am obviously included in that statement.

It is a fact that no one has been able to access insights into base reality. We’re likely not capable of such things. You can pretend that it’s possible or that *your* cult were the ones to figure out the deep secrets of reality but it’s just delusions. I hope you can find it within yourself to be truly honest one day and simply admit that you don’t know. That no one knows.

You're making a certain knowledge claim in this very statement while categorically denying certainty. See the problem?
