[Michael to Ron] I do not deny that belief in God is culturally derived. What I am saying is that belief in g*d is deeper than culture. That it is some sort of inner human drive to seek transcendence.
[Arlo] And this may be the point of your confusion. Belief in god (or g*d) is not deeper than culture, and it is one possible response to "transcendence". That is, "a belief is god or gods (or g*d)" is a cultural response to this impetus to transcend. While the "impetus to transcend" may very well be innate to human nature, "g*d" is not. It comes afterwards, the product of response to transcendence; not what drives it.
