Abrahamic is a large percentage, so yeah. The concept of a deity or deities that have some evil component to them isn’t just from that line of religion evolution. At least the gods of Greek, Roman, Norse, etc. openly had human flaws that contributed to their behaviors, and didn’t fall into the “mysterious ways” excuse.
The “problem of evil” has been a topic of serious scholarship for millenia. No “theodicy” makes logical sense, but more than just teenagers examine it.
lol. this has such teenager atheist energy.
“my sole exposure to religion and spirituality is abrahamic and im very rational and mad about it.”
Sounds like OP hit a nerve 🤣
You not liking the “energy” of the post doesn’t make it inaccurate though, does it?

Most people on Lemmy seem to be English speaking, and most English speakers are primarily exposed to abrahamic religions, so yeah that tracks
