The First Question Wasn't God:
Having spent the last 22 years online discussing the world's religions with everyone, it is very noticeable that many people wanted a guidebook to life; when that failed to be a logical objective system, some of the most devout anti-theists/atheists have been those hurt by their religious convictions.
When it comes to the concept of what is God, we have to be able to separate the subjective view points, that can be shown to be irrational, and then create a more comprehensive understanding based on a consensus of objective facts.
Many people get very confused when speaking about God, as they make God into a personal 'being', as they want some sky-daddy to care for them in a world of uncertainty, and often because of bad parenting.
God is beyond the parts, and should be recognized if God is the very Source of all our reality, God is everything, and not a being.
We can objectively show that our reality is all mathematical, where the Periodic Table is a mathematical matrices - showing that our whole reality is formulated down to an atomic level; we were taught this is random, when it can not be, as it is a static mathematical grid.
We can also show that the Fibonacci Sequence is interwoven into everything, where a snail shell, a finger print, an ocean wave, and a galaxy spiral are all Golden Spirals, showing that there has to be a central Source to the mathematics for it to be universal
Therefore God is like a Universal Central Processor (CPU), formulating reality at a quantum level; once we quantify the ontology of God, and then place that within the religious scopes that exist:
We can see that Chronos already means the same (time & order) - where we get the word chronological from it processing reality.
Brahman means ultimate Source of manifestation.
Ahura Mazda is the Source of reality, meaning Lord of Wisdom, where light/fire emanates from God, where God can obliterate beings from its radiance; if we came near the CPU in a universal computer game, we'd expect the same.
El Elyon/Ala Ilah means the God Most High, and according to its scriptural definitions, it is the Source of reality; Abrahamically it has become problematic, as the Creator Divine Being (YHVH Eloh) interacted personally, and people then get stuck on that is God its self.
The problem within the scope you're analysing in your article, is the ambiguity people have faced within the question of what is God, what is life, is there a religion that addresses all these answers clearly, and currently there isn't a complete system.
Mankind is at a crossroads/dilemma, as it is about to fight each other over these divisions, when if we look for consensus within what has been addressed already within the world's religions, the answers are all there, we just need to correlate them into a much more comprehensive religious system, that all of mankind can agree to.
Another part of the problem within what is being asked, is that 5% of society are dynamic characters who find their own way, 15% follow that first 5%, and then the other 80% are a herd, that will follow the rest of the flock; thus when we've had fake shepherds over the flock, guiding them into following bigoted superstitions, many are left feeling there isn't a clear path.
