God & Reality

Atheists don't believe in the existence of gods or a god for that matter. I know that some things that happened/are happening/are going to happen are beyond humans and some greater force must be at work. Elan has argued that humans create religions and gods because we NEED to. We have to fall back on something, some greater power to explain the inexplicable. Elan is not wrong because humans are weak and if we don't latch on to some reason to explain why things are the way they are, then we'd be like headless chickens. We have to create gods whom we believe created us instead. We then create characteristics for these gods we created eg. kind, merciful, omniscient, omnipresent etc. So we create gods who will guide and protect us weak humans. If one fine day, you wake up and realise that there's no god and you were in a dream, what are you going to do? We'd be shattered because our dream, that perfect picture we created-god is shattered.
