I manage just fine calling "god" an incompetent immoral idiot, should he exist and match any of the popular descriptions, and living my own life.
If "god" still gives me what I need after this, then clearly religion is superfluous, and "god" is nothing more than an unnecessary assumption. You may as well say we need universe pixies or else we'd all disappear.
I think it's much more likely that "god", if there is one, is nothing like you imagine and will be very mundane indeed. Not much more intelligent than us if at all, and not particularly powerful in his own reality. I don't think he would even know we are self aware. The unknown just tends to get blown out of proportion.
