Is God a needless hypothesis?

Dilip Barad Sir,
All students:
Read this writeup in context of:
1) A hypothesis which we constructed as a triangle where 'a' is literati re,  'b' is Religion and 'c' is Science. And while studying literature we go on testing our hypothesis of love - hate relations among each other. They neither can love each other, not can exist without each other.
2) Sem 1: Study of Paradise Lost by Milton. How Milton in the process and intentionally trying to justify ways of God to man, subverts his own hypothesis and speaks for human will power and freedom to choose, what ever may befall, including the wrath of God.
After reading in the given context, your task is to answer these questions:
1) Have we outgrown the psychological,  emotional and spiritual need of God?
2) How far can u agree with Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris who have cogently and eloquently argued that far from being a negation of moral codes and an ethical life, atheism as a form of consciousness raising is an affirmation of spiritual transcendence?
3) is it time we outgrew that 'Needless hypothesis'?

who killed more people ?
Religion.

Humanism in Paradise Lost.
let me first say something about Paradise Lost. while in the process of justifying God's ways to men, he actually subverts the hypothesis. His intention was to show that, this is how god operates. That if you break the laws of God, then you will be punished.
But Eve ate the fruit of knowledge. Adam realize that Eve has committed a huge mistake. then even he eats fruit because he thinks that he cannot live without Eve. Adam intentionally chooses Eve over God. he is ready to accept wrath of God, ready to be out of Garden of Eden.
this indirectly suggest to an individual  that how they have to be flexible, radical. HUMAN BEING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOD.

in this world of havoc and terror, we have need to be like Adam. HUMAN BEING IS PRIME, NOT RELIGION.

 RELIGION IS MADE FOR US, WE ARE NOT MADE FOR RELIGION.

I must say no one knows in true sense, what is religion? what are the fundamentals? and then even we go on killing people on the name of religion.
Religion was made to guide people. Fundamentals of all religion is love, pity, compassion, kindness, service to other, sympathy etc. But today Religion IS A WEAPON TO KILL PEOPLE.

So, we have to shift from being religious to Spiritual. there is a basic difference between religion and spirituality. One can be spiritual without being religious.- this is the essence of the words of Pop Francis. if any non-believer criticize than people may not consider it worthy, but Pop Francis says this so it is very important. Here to prove him right i would like to ask question again who killed more people??-Religion. be it any, fact is this.
Reference of Nietzsche, is appropriate to think in progressive way, rather than being regressive. Nietzsche gave concept of Death of God and told that one has to develop his own sense of morality. He also gave concept of superman- who pave the new path- which will followed by other.
Need of god is to give psychological support, but one has to grow mature that one can live even without the concept of god. Atheism is now solution to every problem, because religion us rather problematic now a days.
