Funny. Someone invents an invisible cloud being and demands that we all bend a knee. So much of my youth was wasted on Christianity and its true arrogance. 
Religion, the quest for the values of the ideal life, is the most sublime activity of all for human beings. To end the quest at the beginning by forcing children to pretend to see a God is to shut the door on their own liberation and the freedom of their own minds to think and see reality. As Krishnamurti said, belief of that sort is just rubbish.
To believe in an invented supernatural God is to use illusion to hide from reality.
And yes, I am a 70 year old with absolutely no grasp of what lies beyond the "hubris" of listening to my own heart and intelligence.
