he's basically saying that there isn't one, but it would be nice to believe that there is.
which is why people question it now. why 'teach' about it in schools when really it's not much different to believing that there really 'was' such thing as Giants, beanstalks and golden eggs?
now you're going to tell me that the Giants, beanstalks and golden eggs was just a story.

Religious education isn’t, or shouldn't be about the existence of God. It's about religion and how it has and continues to shape society. Not to teach it at all would be wrong. It’s like saying lets not teach people about the Nazis because you don't like them. They are part of our history.
All inclusive religious history = Good.
Monotheist and creationist pseudo-science = Bad.
