Religious people often points to the human eye as en example of a creator God. They fail to understand that evolution has merely optimized it to the selection pressures, and this ”perfection” is our perspective of ”perfection”. We can move on now!

Because of evolution and the human understanding of the mechanism of evolution, at this point mythological god characters are now reduced to be ”God of the gaps”.
What that means is that your gods exist in between gaps of human knowledge. And this is only because you can get away with attibuting something to a God because currently there is no scientific explanation for it.
What this also means is that your god is an ever decreasing pocket of scientific ignorance getting smaller and smaller by the day as human scientific knowledge accumulates over time as we collectively learn and problem solve.
History if full of examples of the god of the gaps phenomena. Thunder and lightening was once thought of as gods wrath. But then we explained it all away. So that stories died with it.
Astroid and comments were once thought of omens from the god character of the story teller as foretelling famines and death of King and all sorts of things.
But then our understanding of the universe grew and we know a great deal about celestial bodies now. So no one thinks it's god any more. The god disappears as soon as the gap is filled by knowledge.
And so as human knowledge accumulate as we collectively learn over time and solve problems, your god will eventually be discarded into the history pages for the mythology it really is. Grow up and get over yourselves. #PostReligious
