Fate, Destiny, Logos, God(s), and so on...

It seems that for most of History, we personified luck and lived along that knowledge that something someone wanted some things out of that collective human experience, and thus was guiding events and people to a goal.

I'm wondering what we lost by trying to explain that. For sure, religions and mythologies are still here and kicking, but I'm curious if "Science" will ever get to a point where stuff like this becomes as trivial as "Well, it's God's Plan, I'm just the character in their cosmic drama".

WHat happens when the character want to change the story themselves ?

It isn't so much religion specifically as philosophy, or a mindset.

Looking at the stoics, for example, the message is to not despair or be angry at misfortune. Such emotions are a result of the world not meeting your expectations, and are a lesson to adjust your expectations.

Rather than focusing on what you cannot change, the focus is moved to what you can.

The trendy term for this is "resiliency", the emotional quality of capability to endure hardship. That it the very first step to "changing the story", as you say. There's no use crying over split milk, but now you can take steps to avoid spilling it in the future.

Religion and science in general are not incompatiable. Immutible religions and mutable scienece are incompatible though. God didn't create the world in 7 days. As a theory this is disprovable. So the bible needs to be edited! But that is not allowed but we have an out! We can imterpret it as metaphor.
