As long as people believe in a god, this god will exist. Take away the worshippers and god will dwindle to nothing. God feeds off the beliefs of people, getting his/her strength from their personal energies.
In a way, religious places, such as churches, temples, mosques, shrines, etc., are like storehouses of energy. People’s prayers fill them with energy. As long as the prayers continue, these places will remain charged up.
People in despair can come to these “charging stations” and receive energy back from these religious “batteries.”
So, where does that leave god? Is a god really necessary for the existence of these “charging stations?” Not really.
Holiness does not need a divine vehicle to exist. The strive towards the light, away from darkness and ignorance, is a natural strive that is active in all life forms.
Ever since people started thinking about the origin of this creation, they attempted to find answers to their questions. The idea of a god exists, because the people before us believed in a god, and the people before them did also. It is engrained in our thinking.
The ultimate answer to the ultimate question of, “How did existence come into being?” was answered with the simple notion that there had to be a creator who was responsible for it all. With this creator than came a set of principles “explaining” how this creator operates and how he/she wants us to operate in his/her creation.
All this conjecture about god is totally and 100% human-made. Which makes it pretty clear that it is not a god who is the parasite, but those who claim to be the intermediary between humans and god, even if done with the best intentions.
