If there is a "God", i.e. some all powerful being that watches over us/ created us
he is nothing at all like the "God" that all the religions describe.
When good things happen, people thank God - he made it right. When things go badly, God is either ignored or it's "all part of his plan". I like what David Attenborough said about the worm whose sole purpose is to burrow through eyeballs.
I think it's very obvious that most religions arise from the fact that our ancestors couldn't comprehend a lot of what happened, so they filled in the gaps with God.
