I like the sci fi fictional religion where the belief is that the universe is a giant simulated experiment but if everyone inside is made aware that it's an experiment through the religion then the data will no longer be valid and they'll have to restart/stop it
isn't that just gnosticism

let's see, you don't remember your death, or your birth
most of the universe is invisible to you; you are unable to communicate with other intelligent beings although surely they must exist
there are plenty of planets out there like this one, but all of them too far to study up close, and the speed necessary for travel makes it impossible to ever study these planets up close
we are randomly the top of the food chain and the only self aware beings on this planet, yet we don't live very long compared to other life forms on this planet
pretty much anything we gain, we gain at a cost, and anything we lose, there are benefits to losing
we are constantly in need of one another, forcing us to learn cooperation, whether we like it or not, with the exception of the rich who seemingly go insane as a result of being wealthy
the test is to see what happens when only one of an inhabited planet's sapient species also possesses biology conducive to tool use. you can judge our progress in the simulation by humans' relationship with the elephants, cetaceans and cephalopods
