Being an athiest, this is my view on the existance of god....
the theory of god and religious practices was used as an administrative measure by rulers n kings governing a region... this helped keep peace, love, understanding, harmony etc. among its people... a false image of a supernatural being, ie "GOD", was projected to the people to make them believe in its existance n even fear the consequences of disbelif.... this was supplemented by holy books, images, stories, examples etc... this concomitantly led to idol worshipping and various rites and rituals that through the ages have been exagerated and hence we have them today.... the people hence believed in all this and became kinder and thankful people... this helped the governers to rule their subjects with a greater ease...
this idea used by governers probably came up from egyptian sun, moon, star and water worshipping...

It started off as a noble concept to maintain peace, order, love, harmony and today has become an obsession amongst a majority of the population. It now denotes barriers and even true faith often leads to quite the opposite, the complete reverse of the noble. Humankind simply needs to employ compassion and wisdom.. but these are just words. Mere words that mean differently to different people. Words that sometimes have no meaning. Vicious circle isn't it?
