God can be found everywhere

During my childhood I had heard my parents often tell me that God is present everywhere and is watching over us. My young mind would not understand and I would keep questioning, often stupidly. I still do it sometimes just to pass time with my parents. Anyway over the years I have realized that God does exist everywhere and he/ she is watching over us.

One thing I don’t believe is aggressive assertion of one’s religious beliefs. One can follow any faith privately and nobody would want to change him/ her. Even a poor road side vendor has made a space for keeping his favorite deity. Though God is present in an invisible form everywhere, human beings seem to need some kind of a form to remember his/ her favorite deity. Hence we can see this idol of Jesus Christ mounted on a wall. This kind of installation of statues of Jesus, equals to idol worship. But I wonder why Hindus are looked down upon because they worship idols?
