Some people think of God as an outsized, light skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky. Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws.
