It's a theists strategy, get people to believe in some kind of universal concept of a god or the supernatural, then my chosen god(s) may seem more palatable.
One would have though that if there is some personal god who supernaturally affects the lives of his followers in amazing and personal ways proving to them that he is real, that he would also impress on them the preciousness of humanity rather than hatred. With one breath theists proclaim that humanity has failed to solve it's problems, while at the same time proclaiming a god who can affect us awesomely as the solution but not only fails to solve these problems but cannot give reasons that make sense as to why not.
