\"While I'm agnostic about godlike beings, I disbelieve every world religion that I know about. I think the main reason is that the contents of specific religious beliefs, especially things you find in texts such as the Bible or the Koran, sound to me a lot more like the sort of things that primitive tribes of humans from the past would make up than the sort of things that a supreme being would say.\
\
Let me first say something about the creator. I don't know much about this being, if he/she/it exists. (Obviously, God does not have a biological sex, but I guess I'll follow the tradition and call God "he".) But if there is one, this is what I know. He created this universe 14 billion years before any human being ever existed. He may have existed for infinite time before that. After causing the Big Bang, he watched the birth of ten thousand, million, million, million stars that coalesced out of the gases produced by the big bang over millions to billions of years. After waiting one hundred million human lifetimes for the Earth to form, he then watched the lives and deaths of millions of entire species on this planet alone, before ever the first human walked the Earth.\
\
This is the being that, I'm supposed to believe, is going about choosing favorite human tribes and telling them to fight other human tribes? Getting jealous of fictitious other gods? Becoming enraged when people fail to worship and obey him? This being is obsessively preoccupied with which humans are having sex, in what ways, with which other humans? And about maintaining human traditions and power structures?\
\
I mean, come on. Is there any way it could be more obvious that this is primitive human tribes projecting their small, parochial concerns onto God?\"
