How to use the adverb "Now" correctly

Hello everyone. I have a question.

I always find it quite difficult to use the adverb "now" correctly. By the way, is there any difference in meaning (or nuance) between (A) and (B)? What I want to say here is pretty much the same as "Nowadays the sun is not mysterious any longer, a large number of people around the world worship it in the ancient way even today."

(A) Although now the sun is not mysterious, a large number of people around the world worship it in the ancient way even today.

(B) Although the sun is not mysterious now, a large number of people around the world worship it in the ancient way even today.

(B) reads better to me.
