Ignore God and religion altogether., its an irrelevant red herring that can never be given a satisfactory conclusion.
Focus instead on science, logic, and observable reality. Focus instead on what you and your race wants and fears, what you and your race can do, and what may come of doing it.
Have concern only for what is true and what is beneficial or detrimental to your race. Only that which could be falsified or vindicated should exist in your mind, and you should be driven by one goal, that your race should survive and prosper, and that all threats to it should be neutralized or removed.
Pragmatic, practical, efficient, brutally honest and honestly brutal, assuming as little as possible.
That is how our race wins the game of evolutionary selection.
You're correct about everything you've said, but the unfortunate reality is that not everyone is on an equal mental footing, capable of understanding the way things really are and why certain behaviors are important or detrimental, or what the long-term consequences of their actions are, or how societies and human institutions function, etc.
Basically, it takes more effort than it's worth to try to make a retard understand everything they need to understand in order to not act like a retard, so the function of religion is to make them behave in a way that benefits society without requiring that they understand anything about reality.
Your way is ideal, but your way doesn't account for the vast majority of people who don't think like you and never will.
TLDR religion was created by smart people who finally woke up to the fact that dumb people can't be expected to think like smart people.
Hence, "do this or Sky Daddy gets pissed and you go to the bad place when you die."
Eugenics would fix that.
The smart few vs the dumb many, you're not going to convince 80% of people to let you sterilize them or prevent them from breeding.
You'll have to either lie to them and sterilize them covertly, then deal with the Children of Men-style global warfare that results, or you'll have to forcibly mass-depopulate them, and deal with the global warfare that results.
You will never get the masses on the side of depopulating themselves because they're undesirable, and you'll never get a majority of the truly smart people to consent to mass depopulation of undesirables, because of their moral hangups.
Any group or system that tries to depopulate the masses and create Mein Superior Race will be regarded as evil and destroyed, because regardless of how correct they are and how beneficial to humanity their plan is, the masses operate on self-preservation and will destroy those who threaten their individual survival and procreation directives.
It is a plan that cannot succeed because the very nature of humanity prevents it from happening.
Societies need a uniting philosophic outlook. In practice, atheistic materialism isn't able to fill that role.
You will revise your views when you are old. That I can assure you of.
Religion is needed for the masses. Religion will steer the lemmings towards morality. Without it they are hedonistic animals.
