Back to business.. This is something we all understand..

Think of life as an institution that has a policy (religion) and a policy book (Holy Book) that the owner (God) worked out to ensure all employees (human beings) understand the goals and work both on short-term goals (material and moral) and long-term profit (Paradise). The emloyees are urged to be creative in what concerns the institution's technical side but it's up to the owner to make the policies..

You argue that there is likeness to God but you deny that God want his "institution" organized with clear goals but you develop techniques..

You need Religion so when everyone goes to Paradise you're not left behind..
