God/gods is something which human minds have created everywhere for as long as anyone can discover. It seems to be more like an archeological feature of human minds and consciousness. It should be possible to reject it without under estimating or misrepresenting what it is.
The gods man created all looked like man and they all explained natural phenomenon of some kind. God doesn't look like anything at all and he is the reason why all the natural processes exist to begin with not an explanation for them. So you can see the clear difference between gods of the pagan religion and God from the Biblical perspective. To compare Thor or Zeus to God is a strawman fallacy.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
