Who knows...
There's a good argument (and this isn't my own position per say) to say that a conceptual image of 'god' is good start on the spiritual path, for a lot of people. Of course, there's always the danger of becoming imprisoned by the very thing that's supposed to set you free..
It's an interesting topic for debate though, would the masses be better of, with or without mass organised religion and conceptual notions of 'god'?
