Concept of God would likely be needed to explain the rules and regulations that people claim God requires all mankind (not just the followers of that particular God) to follow.

The concept of God doesn't explain anything at all. It just replaces questions..

Yes, a concept of God explains to me (amongst other things) the connection/wonder I experience when for example I tilt my head backwards and look at the night sky.

Seems to me that it merely creates new questions that always end up with an answer something along the lines of "who are you to question God?" or "God is unknowable" or "God works in mysterious ways" or "Gods ways are not mans ways" or ... ...

Without God who will punish all the evil doers who get away with their crimes and reward those who suffer and do good? Is there any real justice if we all have the same fate?
