It's just silliness.
Humans, as Homo Sapiens, have been on the earth for 200,000 years at the least. For most of it, people were born, many of them dying in the process of being born-- or birth killing their mothers.
Most didn't live beyond 30 or 40, dying of their dentition-- which they didn't understand-- or of microorganisms that they didn't know existed. If they didn't die of those things, they died in vicious and venomous turf wars with one another, carrying with them rival fetishes, to demonstrate their moral superiority.
All of this gruesomeness went on for hundreds of thousands of years, and Havax's God and heaven watched all of it with folded arms. Then, about 6000 years ago He decided that was enough, and chose to intervene.
It is no accident that religious people subscribe to the same brand of nonsense as their parents. Had Havax been born in Mumbai, he'd be a Hindu. Saudi Arabia, he'd be Muslim, and so on. Even sects of major religions can't agree: Hasidec Jews think themselves superior to Ashkenazi Jews; Southern Baptist Christians think Methodist Christians are out to lunch, and Sunni Muslims want to see the Shiites marched into the sea.
It's not just being misguided: religion is inherently evil, as it asks you to believe in something that can't be tested. Also, if you don't believe in it, when you die a supernatural being is going to light you on fire and you'll suffer forever. Also, this being loves you.
I'm quite happy being an atheist (and more appropriately, and antitheist: an atheist is simply without theism; as an antitheist, I am happy when people turn away from it), because I believe this is all there is, and there is no evidence that would make me believe differently. If you ask me what would make me change my mind about God, my answer is "evidence." If you ask a religious person what would change their mind about God, their answer is "nothing." My mind can be changed. Game, set, match.
