So once again, I don't have a problem with the existence of a god. Maybe there is one and he has figured out the most optimal settings for the system 'society'. The problem however is that there is not one but many manuals and people even disagree on the meaning of one single manual. So this is no different than figuring out by ourselves what rules create a stable society where the happiness of as many people as possible is as high as possible.
Religion can be very annoying. I love the Bible. I figure it to be the most anti-religious, pro-freedom book every conceived. It's probably why I'm not embarrased about it.

I don't really disagree with you. But consider this: why should it be a goal to have a "stable society where the happiness of as many people as possible is as high as possible?" Hint: I know the answer. :-)
