Why believe in an active living God instead of an indifferent deity?
What if no deity exists at all in the whole of the universe?
Because if we want to worship any deity at all, it makes no sense to worship anything less powerful than the most powerful deity conceivable, does it?
Why would you worship a dead and indifferent deity who created the Universe and then died?
But what if the Abrahamic God - believed to be omnipotent, omniscient, supreme, eternal and perfectly moral who gave humanity the Noahide laws to follow and is supposed to occasionally answers prayers - does not even exist?
Lies are useful and the Abrahamic God, being the most powerful idea conceivable, is very useful indeed, as an instrument of government and the regulation of the morals of those who presume govern us.
To make it work for all of us, we have to believe it and buy into it.
