i said Christian are more in tune with the Dilema was what i thought i said and hence the need for someone to take charge. God was the being that would be the one that ensured the needs of all be sorted.

Well since your god character is not real, anymore than Vishnu or Thor, I think it would serve humans better to fill their own needs than pretend a utopia exists which does not.
We need the world's leaders to take charge, because the fictional gods humans make up cannot get anything done anymore than a pink unicorn can plow a field.
