I feel as though believing in a higher power is a way to cope with life. You're never alone, so you are always happy. Some people are weak and need religion as a crutch to get through their life.
I feel the same way about them as you. I lose respect for people when they say they believe in a God that is personified. I believe the world along with everything in it (including us) are God. Of course I rely on the world to exist but I am perfectly fine knowing I am not being looked after by some sky magician.
Just know that they wouldn't believe in their God if they didn't NEED to. They need someone to open their eyes. Help them, don't judge them. If it fails, leave them be.
Is it normal to lose respect in someone if they believe in a god
