I don’t know what made the univers happen, I don’t even know if the question is valid.
Why would that take me to square-1 as a non believer. Doesn’t have shit to do with gods.
Saying that something "doesn't exist" while it does exist is a very big claim.
Your problem is that you think about God in the traditional Anthropomorphism fashion: that God is a Jesus-like man or a Hindu Shiva; but I'm speaking about a different God that we can't even imagine, just like we can't even imagine how it was before the big bang.

I think that you might want to take this one up with the religious. They consider their beliefs to be foundational to how they see themselves and how they interact with others.
Religion is politics. Profoundly consequential.
I don’t distribute pamphlets or hit religious boards to de convert people. That’s not my business.
People's beliefs are their own problem; actually the first step in dictatorship is the enforcing of your conclusions at others.
