First, there is no real evidence of the existence of some omniscient creator. In fact, if you made a list of criteria for something to qualify for non-existence, God would meet all the criteria. Do you believe in the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy? The same arguments against their existence would apply to God. 'Loving God?' Why does He allow innocent babies to suffer all over the world? Religion is just made-up stories people tell their children in order to explain things they themselves don't understand. With my knowledge of human nature, I am able to see that religion is just wishful thinking. People want to believe there is some justice in the universe and that death is not the end of existence. In this regard, religion tells people what they want to hear. But the more knowledge you have of logic and science, the less likely you will be to buy into such supersition.
