Views on philosophy and religion

I'm going to start with my beliefs, because I think this is the most important thing in people's life. I'm a theoretical agnostic like Bertrand Russell the great philosopher and an atheist in practice. I don't deny the existence of God (because it is impossible), but I think that it is very improbable that that is/are exist(s) and I believe that they don't exist. Therefore, I'm not a negative atheist, and not a positive atheist. I'm an atheist because I don't think that the Universe was created for ourselves and that God/gods are similar to people. The Universe is enormous and we aren't in the centre of it. My view that we created God/gods and we hope that they will help us and we fear them. So I don't believe in personal Gods.

On the other hand, what does "impersonal god" means? I don't believe that it has really got a meaning. Some people claim that there is some strange force in the Universe. Yes there are a lot of strange and bigger forces than we are. For example, the gravitation. But gravitation hasn't got consciousness. I think people believe in Gods because they want to have a big father who looks for us, and they suppose that he/she has got consciousness and a lot of human features. Therefore I cannot accept that a natural force can be seen as a God. And if a being exists in the Universe - I think - it is an alien and not a God. But it just depend on the definition of the word. That are my views on the philosophy of God. I don't deal with religions.
