    Calling common things of nature “God” is just adding unnecessary complexity and trying to give purpose to what has none. Things don’t exist to serve us, we adapted to these things for us to exist.

    About the “math god”, math doesn’t hold the atoms together, it just explains it.

      The first religions worshipped the sun. The figureheads of most major religions are stand-ins for the sun, including Jesus Christ.

      Additionally I’d argue that religion exists expressly to give purpose. Regardless of whether or not God exists, the fact that human beings look to God alone should be proof of that.
