He didn't become less relevant, he simply came to be more widely understood as an inaccurate representation of history.

Cute, you get schooled on the facts, see that they don't support your case, so you respond that humanity as a whole has become too intelligent for its own good. You like epistemology, even use it, when it supports your cause, then you dismiss it like the work of the devil when it doesn't.

And as far as "acknowledging a power greater than self," I'm perfectly willing to accept such a power. If I fall off a cliff, I'll die. If my building collapses in an earthquake, I'll die. God isn't the only power greater than me.
