Breh. Many ancient peoples believed in God, as in Brahman, the great spirit\mystery in which all in everything emerges from, called Allah by the Islamist. My point is we've been injected with this flawed Biblical idea of God who is active in the world, and they've used propaganda (e.g. Vedas, Tanakah, Quran and Bible) to indoctrinate numerous peoples nations into accepting their paradigms."
And religion and "God" are not mutually exclusive. Religion is a tool for preserving cultural practices, customs and lore. God" is, and never cease even when this world may cease to exist. No need for you to believe. There's no god but god. Requires no praise.
