I'm not sure if it was Richard Dawkins or someone else I heard, but he was saying (satirizing) that for a guy who build this complex planet in six days, formulating fire, wind, water, earth, air, mountains, plains, volcanoes, etc. and building this perfect world for life . . . Why is he apparently so obsessed about things humans do now, like playing with their ######s or which direction you face when you pray? Does that sound like a competent, all-knowing entity that runs the show and loves everyone equally? Seems pretty petty to worry about stuff like that, given the size of the solar system and beyond.
Religion is a human manifestation and something to kill time with between birth and death.
