Moral deities find it difficult to compete with immoral deities in the zero sum religious economy.
God is a business...whatever else god is, and even if gods exist. Consider the ability of unscrupulous businesses to dominate the market space and push out competitors hobbled by integrity. When people fail to hold these businesses accountable then the worst of them are powerfully motivated and well incentivized to out-douche each other. If one administrator fails or refuses to be a douche in this douche off, they'll be replaced by someone else who will.
-and thus, the current crop of shit gods was almost inevitable.
Maybe not, but if the problem the op has is similar to his stated ignorance in other areas - I can definitely solve that for him, lol. He can disagree after having had it explained, but...ironically, to do so would require that he argue against objective moral values and duty.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
