God is a concept that seems to have been invented by every human culture and society since time immemorial. There is no evidence for god, any of them. The concept of god has been used to justify and excuse countless atrocities throughout history, and even until today. Religion has held back scientific and social progress for centuries, and always the religious have to dragged into modern society.
No god was there to save my dad or my sister when they needed aid; it was the tools of science, the innovations of man that saved them, not some mythical sky-man. Thanks to progress in modern medicine my dad will be able to walk and talk again; demonstrable results that no amount of prayer would have achieved. And yet despite this, there are many who would claim that God saved my family. God is unnecessary in modern society, arguably a god never was needed in any time; but we know that we, the humans that dot this planet and who we see each and every day, are capable of more compassion, kindness, and aid than any god that has ever been conceived. We don't need them, so let us cast god into waste-bin along with demons and fairies and ghosts and all the other paranormal claptrap.
