These people aren't trying to see through the darkly colored glass, only the methodology of science remains true to that path. These people are focused on the reflection they see in the glass, and not on the truth of what nature shows us.

Most of humanity is still locked in the delusion of religion, refusing to see what the evidence shows them, and unable to recognize the grandure and elegance of The Naked Universe.

We cannot explore the world, and know reality until we turn away from this reflection of vanity (a Personal God) which fixates us so.
Free your mind. Look away.
To suppose that the God described in the Bible is a reflection of man's vanity is an absurd notion.
The God of the Bible is described as One who punishes Man's sin.
Sin, as described in the Bible, includes many things that Man is by nature not willing to forego, but clings to with great determination.
How anyone can suppose that Man would devise a God that is so greatly contrary to Man's own nature and desire to do his own thing, is a contradictory notion.
If the God of the Bible was reflective of Man's vanity, then God would be imagined to be very lax concerning Man's sin, indeed maybe not defining much (if anything) as sin. This is exactly the opposite of the God we find in the Bible, Who punishes sin.
