If you need the idea of a god to make you feel better about the world around you, I do not have a problem with it. No doubt that some measure of my happiness in life is derived from things I misunderstand, misinterpret, or even willfully invent. I enjoy writing fiction, after all. My creative lies bring me happiness. Of course, I do understand that they are creative lies.
It becomes a problem when you don't feel good about the world around you until everyone shares in your delusion, to the point where you attempt to force it on others. You are free to share in whatever makes me happy, but you have every right to not share in it. It would be wrong, indeed immoral, of me to force you to do so, or condemn you for not doing so.
