The message is about rationalisation of human thought and the influence of imagination on reality. The undertone of what god means to us is only what irrational ideas that have given rise to a gods invention.
At the time religion was created it wasn't irrational.
It was the best explanation for the nature of the world based
on the available evidence.
However, since much better evidence has became available
due to improving technology and science, the continued use
of God to explain the universe(at least the Abrahamic God)
can only be viewed as irrational.
And their view was humanistic and small and has developed over time. The things that science can't fully explain and are intangible (such as QM) I haven't tested as much as I've tested God. It still is the simplest and most logical answer to the Gaps not filled by science as supposed by the "God of the Gaps" fallacy.
