Why did God make me an atheist?

To me, God, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and teddy bears are all in the same class.
The tooth fairy was adopted to console children as they passed the stage of losing teeth.
Santa Claus was adopted by those in cold climates so the dark, cold, dreariness of winter was replaced with the warmth of giving & receiving in anticipation of the warmth to come.
The teddy bear is a security blanket for many children. You Know better than to get between a mother Grizzly and her cub! And then there is God, just another stage to grow out of. Yes, many of us play the charade of belief for those of you still on the Journey to truth. .

But in reality do we all believe in God ? Is it not just semantics [definitions] or even a metaphor?
There are those who believe in an Anthropomorphic god [one with human like characteristics];
Or is god an ether swirling about the deep dark void” Is god a synonym for our fears and unsolved mysteries?

“In the beginning was the Word”
And words allowed us to share ideas. But ideas can only travel so far.
Then came writing. Next can printing and more & better paper [what a revolution].
The art of communication was coming!
The explosion of the circulation of ideas, knowledge & pictures of reality.
Radio, TV and now the newest revolution - the internet. and digital cameras.
Unfortunately; it includes misinformation exposing our bias as we search for anything that fits in our paradigm [our way of looking at or explaining the world & not true reality] it exposes the selection of our choices in sources of information.

What new paradigms will emerge?
Political power used to justify itself through divine authority. Today it uses religion to boast itself.
Will we understand that we are of one human family no matter what we believe or the politico we tout, but need to relieve, support, befriend & be truthful to one another.

We are on a Journey to truth.

The Creation hymn of the Rig Veda sums it up; in the beginning there was no air, no heavens, no water, no death and no immortality. Night and day did not exist and there was only the breathing of the One. Then somehow creation occurred. No one knows how this happened, and the Rig Veda speculates that possibly even the One does not know.
