To settle the ongoing "region vs atheist" wars going on. I present. this video. God is just a symbolic concept! Skip to 3:30. Mind you, the person is termed the last western heretic. He is also an ordained minister at the Presbytarian church so he does know what he is talking about. He mentioned GOD is like X in algebra and termed that the question god exist or not is nonsensical. I think this guy has the best views when it comes to religion and science.
