I believe your statements prior to this quote demonstrate a certain degree of denial in those who believe God has all the answers.
Since no one has offered up any credible reason to believe that gods exist, I would have to say that believing that gods have any, let alone all, of the answers to life's questions is misguided. However, I do not deny that many people think gods have all the answers. I know many do.

As long as someone believes that the answers do exist and that the answers are out there, is that so wrong?
Wrong is a moral judgment I don't believe applies to this situation. Hoping that the answers are out there somewhere is also what motivates science to keep seeking them. But to expect the gods to provide answers is at best an exercise in futility.
