I believe God is not a conscious entity. While it frankly is possible that millions unto billions of people believe in gods, some growing up in drastically different environments, while not having a common tie, it somehow doesn't seem realistic. Perhaps it's just a nagging notion in humanity's...

It's not just Orthodox. All the sects of Judaism do it- Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform.
