Meditation IS certain religions. Such as Buddhism and Hinduism. They know that their stories are fables to teach morality to the youth. In fact most tribal religions know this as well. Only in Christianity do these fables take on a literal interpretation.
The existence of a diety is different than the tales surrounding a religion. Many religions are very aware of how far fetched most tales are.
Just to be crystal clear, the major branches of Buddhism and Hinduism do believe in supernatural entities and many if not most believe metaphysical nonsense. The idea that “Buddhists don’t actually believe this” is mistaken. Many or most absolutely believe it.
