Like I have said. The idea of a god most of the world has, more or less fits tribal chiefs more than a god. The worlds great religions were all formed when people thought a god would want what a tribal chief would want, as that is all they knew at the time. When one looks around the world at those countries where people are free and safe they are pretty much all modern educated countries where science and logic prevail. And the countries where people do not have democracies and have little freedom and much suffering are the countries where the people are too uneducated to know HOW to pick their leaders and organize into a democracy. Healthy Democracies requires the people to know how to #1, pick good leaders and #2, organize the rule of law. Religion does neither as we have seen looking back 15,000 years.
