I have trouble imagining the intellectual poverty of someone who thinks an entity could create a universe and not be in charge.
Religion is the history of aggressive people claiming to speak for God, in order to justify their own power grab.
Such people, at various times, have claimed that God ordered them to kill all the inhabitants of cities, stone women, kill old women accused of withcraft, and torture heretics.

So what's wrong with that?
