Why is belief in a higher power required?

[Brian37]

Considering that people are perfectly capable of living happy, moral lives without a belief in a higher power, I would like to hear logical answers from theists as to precisely why belief in a higher power is required in this world. It is a question I have never seen adequately answered.

Good question.

Hitchens in his books and speeches has said "Name me one good thing said or good deed done only a believer can do that an atheist could not do".

If the believer(insert any god name here) can accept people of other faiths or no faith can be good and happy without their particular superstition, that is clear evidence that morality is evolutionary and not handed down by fictional beings.

But I would recommend you get a barf bag because the responses will nauseate you.
