Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.”

Such existential angst is generated by the ontological ideas of ancient Indian thought.

In a way, this "pain" is produced by discovering oneself existing as part of the cycle of reincarnations (saṃsāra) and is resolved by the existence of a possible release from it (mokṣa).
