Genuine "freedom" & contentment lie in non-attachment. Attachment to things, people, concepts/religion, entities, etc., ... even "God." Though God may in fact embody that which
seems worthy of worship & emulation & inseparable it is what "he" or "it" essentially represents in essence, which is of greater importance, value & worthiest of personal & universal dedication, commitment, i.e., kindness, heart centeredness & purification of motive. In other words that which brings about with minimal suffering & utmost compassion to all creation the
greatest sustainable harmony.
