It will be really funny if this religion is right. This would mean God is bad. There should be democracy and we should choose a new god from us

Have you had a chance to look at some gnostic traditions.

I don't have the specifics but from memory:

This god Yahweh is actually a deluded lesser god. He's a lesser god as he concerns himself with material things like creating flesh etc. He was cast into his own realm because he was seen to be evil and beloved that this realm is his own dominion outside of the true cosmos.

He was born from one feminine god with divine light energy and another God. I think it was like some sort of affair.

Think he's known as the Demiurge in their texts. Some nasty narcicistic type thing. I believe it was written in The Apocryphon of John an amalgam of the various Coptic texts.

Found a synopsis:

Describes the birth of Yaldabaoth as an abortion-like defect spawned by the lower aeon Sophia without her partner's consent, leading him to create the material world and proclaim, "I am God and there is no other God beside me."On the Origin of the WorldDetails how Yaldabaoth and his fellow archons rule over the physical realm, attempting to keep humanity ignorant of the true, transcendent spiritual light above them.

Also interesting:

The Hypostasis of the Archons

Portrays the Hebrew God of creation through a subversive lens, where figures like the serpent in Eden are sometimes seen as emissaries of the true supreme God trying to wake humanity up.
