It just means the world was created in that way. However the world might've been created, or what ways people believe it was created, does not change the fact that: It was created, and it's the way it is.
BUT, that's in only one sense. In the other sense, does it matter if God exists as a figure of hope? Yes. The belief in God and Jesus gives people strength, it gives them motivation. You can say whatever you want about religion, but religion gives strength in people that would otherwise have been harder to achieve. Religion is empowering to many people, and gives them hope when there's none to be found. In desperate times, people will believe and understand that Jesus and/or God is watching over them, helping them get through the hardships of daily life. Whether or not anyone likes it, religion has, and always will, have a HUGE impact on humanity as a whole.
I see what your saying but as I stated it above, I believe t would relief many people if they knew there was a god.
