<I see no more benefit in 'doing away' with God, than I see a benefit in using religion as a crutch being used to smack people down.>

Agreed... although the noted "upgrading" of god from a vindictive guy to be feared to a benevolent being is certainly a welcome evolution. ONe could see that as "doing away" with (certain versions) of God. I'm probably "atheist" towards Pope Gregs God for example, although I'm not sure, as he avoids any real description of what he means by "God".
