Christian atheists

Freudians claim that God is no more than a projection of the Superego from the subconsciousness deep down the human psyche. Similarly, Marxists tease Christians that instead of God creating man, man created God. It is hard to blame these atheists because very often, the actions of the believers of God do give such an impression. Isaiah criticized these hypocritical believers.
they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God (Isaiah 28:2).
What more can God expect from man? Here are people seeking Him daily. They are eager to know His ways. They are happy to draw near to Him. I wish I were able to do the same.
The Confucians also have similar teachings.
In the morning hearing the Word, in the evening I may die satisfied. 朝聞道，夕死可矣。【論語‧里仁】
The Word is what cannot for even a moment be departed from. Departable, not the Word. 道也者，不可須臾離也，可離非道也。【中庸】
Isn't it noble and admirable? The Chinese culture is like a piece of land pregnant with the ideas of truth. What is lacking is a personal God. But what about the Chinese people who are infamous of being pragmatic. They are willing to do anything to get things done. They are prepared to bribe, with money and sex, all the ways from local officials to the Son of Heavens in order to get rich, to get a job in the government etc. In Chinese folklore and customs, we can easily identify similar bribery elements to deities. Don't make me wrong, I am not badmouthing my people. Probably it is human nature. What about the Chosen People of God? Would they be better representatives of humanity? Were they able to demonstrate the better qualities of mankind? Isaiah recorded the following complaints from the Israelites about God.
Why have we fasted, and thou seest it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and thou takest no knowledge of it? (Isaiah 58:3a)
Look how the Israelites complained to God as if they could manipulate God to get what they wanted. They fasted and did repentant rituals in order to catch His attention, to demand Him to do their will. So, both Chinese and Israelites try to manipulate their gods to satisfy their wishes. After all, the Freudians and Marxists might probably be right. Men created a pantheon of deities to satisfy their own needs. Since these deities were created by men, by definition, they were idols. This was the number one sin the Israelites had committed because idolatry is a direct assault on God.
Before handling the major issue of idolatry, God dealt with no less an issue: social justice.
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers (Isaiah 58:3b).
When man is egocentric, whatever good he does turns to bad. Fasting becomes a showing off of piety. Handing over a $10,000,000 cheque to a charity in front of the TV camera becomes a celebrity game.
Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high (Isaiah 58:4).
Why quarrel? Why fight? Because fasting has turned into a competition, because I want to win.
Shift the centre to God and all fights and quarrels vanish. But how do we know that this new centre which we call "God" is not our own creation? Well, see if we can find our own voice in His words. If we do, this God is our creation. Otherwise, not.
Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? (Isaiah 58:6-7)
I am sure you have your own answer. Maybe this He is the God of Isaiah, not yours. But if you accept Isaiah's God, you will be well taken care of.
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am (Isaiah 58:8-9a).

Dear God of Isaiah, count me in. May I be willing to share with the needy, to cheer up the downtrodden. May Your light shine forth to empty me, guide me and strengthen me. Amen.
