Religion

The deity character makes all sorts of attempts to interfere with free will using commands like don't mix fabrics, don't shave sideburns, don't eat shellfish, don't allow people with flat noses to approach the altar... Throwing in something about not owning people would have been no more intrusive on free will than telling women to stay quiet in church. That deity shows little regard for free will, even meting out punishment for those who exercise it in unapproved ways.

A non-controlling deity is an intriguing concept, but it's not the one depicted in those particular holy books.

To me, they are just examples of people misinterpreting their own cultural prejudices and norms as divine command, with no indication of supernatural inspiration.
