God is God. Religion is rules people try to make about God.

Striving to understand God is laudable; believing one has even come close to doing so is laughable. But the toddler analogy holds--most of it is as harmless as it is petty, like watching children on a playground figure out for themselves how to deal with each other and the world. It's good for the toddlers to learn how to pretend, and feel, and search for answers, and militant atheists are like the six-year-old rolling his eyes at the dumb babies. The six-year-old doesn't know shit either, but the adults don't hold that against him.
