Imagine the best, most powerful being possible. What do you get?
All powerful, omnipresent yet 'invisible', in us and through us, voice command over all elements, all knowing, no beginning and no end, annd what else? The point is, every religious God is at the top of our imagination. Doesn't that uh...spark anything?....
