For me, these questions seem to be more productive than whether there is or isn't a god - what larger processes are you participating in, what are you perpetuating? What steps can you engage with to stop perpetuating things you fundamentally disagree with? There is or isn't a god, and I may or may not be wrong about knowing this. Does being right and then sitting down with a grin about being right actually change anything? Better to find a set of belief systems that I actually align with and perpetuate them.

If God exists, and is the source of all absolute values, I think its more effective for the masses to have a path to intrinsically understand said values rather than a top down imposition of them. Participating in systems that perpetuate these beliefs and values ultimately is how others will continue to believe, and ultimately staying aligned with my values.
