I believe in "God" but I despise all religions. Whatever vestige of divine guidance may have been inspired by the prophets of the world's religions, that divine guidance has been wholly lost by the powers that be, within Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
God wants us to live together and love each other regardless of race or religion or nationality. The knowledge of 'good and evil' is written into our hearts and minds by God. We don't need books to find it and the books are a mess. Certainly modern popular interpretations are a recipe for a nightmare, which is what we're living in today.
In a world of peace and love everyone could live in contentment and even our mortality would become melancholy instead of horrific as it is in this violent world.
Today 'Christianity' stands for keeping Africans out of Europe and keeping Native Americans out of the USA.
'Judaism' stands for a 'Jewish Holy Land' in order to force-birth the messiah.
'Islam' stands for eternal war between the Sunni and Shia sects until their messiah comes.
These fights can go on forever, but the human race has had enough of this bullshit.
No Race, Creed or Religion is divinely gifted by god to own any plot of land, or to have moral authority, over the basic individual human rights over the peoples of this earth.
We can agree to disagree, but don't point to some 'God Book' and tell me to obey it.

I sympathize with your annoyance with most religions, but saying "all religions" is a bit unfair. You may feel that right and wrong are written in your heart, but actually, right and wrong are trained into you by your parents so early that they seem natural. You may not need someone to tell you what is moral, but many people do need that. It's not fair to judge the world by you. My religion is Unitarian-Universalism. We don't have a creed or a book. We are liberal. We are open-minded as we can. We are all just human, going along as best we can. You say when God wants to make a point the point will be made: God has made the point loud and clear -- it's all on a "need to know" basis and we don't need to know -- or we would.
