I just visited Greece - one early cradle of civilization - and I saw museums FULL of pro-women goddess-worshipping sacred objects.
It was stunning to see thousands of art pieces honoring the female form. No weapons, only art, tools, sophisticated architecture, a written language and indoor plumbing (!), as far back as 7000 BCE. Women were everything, men were not represented at all: breasts and vulvas celebrated, the creative life-giving power of women, a caring society without power-hungry hierarchies.
It was distressing to see later years when the violent Mycenaeans invaded; suddenly the penis, war, male gods and marriage iconography appeared. It was a huge, depressing blow for humanity.
I felt seen, appreciated and powerful just standing in the presence of these pieces. They represent the natural order: women ARE the most valuable gender, we are the life-givers and creators, the caring ones. I carry this truth with me, as I wade through the mud of our woman-hating world.

I'll post pictures in the comments.
I want to follow religions that only worships the devine feminine. All male based religion is just a man's wet dream of how a woman should be, conservative, loyal and docile while men can be forgiven for all the bad things they do. The first humans were women, the first villages only had women, Men ruined a lot. There are days in sparta where women had more rights compared to other places of Greece but after the fall of sparta modern men are blaming women for that.
I hope Matriarchy will rise, It is unnatural for men to be in charge because the Earth and Nature are female.
Notice her powerful stance! Not reclined erotically for the male gaze, but full of womanly power.
It makes the most sense that a god (in a traditional sense) would be a woman or a female-like entity. God created the Earth and humans, and guess what females do? Also create and give life. Men do nothing but disrupt peace with their primitive, violent nature and they are only needed for like 5 seconds to procreate. After that they're just a burden. Their egoes are so massive they destroy matriarchal religions to replace them with misogynistic nonsense to feel important. God can't be male because he would destroy literally the shit he created out of impulse.
Phallic worship is a cope for the fact that women are the center of society, and the feminine is the original.
They cannot be trusted to make religions. The female does not need the male. Look at how many species of animals just create life on their own if no male is present for long enough.
They are designed to spread genes
There was an incident on a rhino reserve or something a few months back. Two male rhinos tried to harass a female into mating, and she wouldn't. So they killed her.
This is biology, and spirituality comes from things that are already here. The nature of males supports individual ego over the entire fucking species AND the ecosystem.
They are bigger, but they are less than us.
archeologists believe God was considered female for the first 200,000 years of human life on earth. https://www.vice.com/en/article/paw8bv/god-is-a-woman-history-goddess-worship-ariana-grande
I am currently listening to an audible book called the creation of patriarchy by Gerda Lerner that talks about this.
