I wouldn't say he "has" to. God is a human invention, right? People's thoughts and feelings at the time got encoded into the bible in the context of an omnipotent being. Much like the tribal bedouin raiding parties got encoded into Muslim theology and eventually became "Jihad". So we have a completely materialistic (and practical, even if immoral) behavior being encoded into a religious/holy behavior. And it's still the same today. ISIS, for instance, are basically a well-organized crime syndicate with an elaborate religious propaganda.
"Religious propaganda gives a dynasty at its beginning another power in addition to that of the group feeling it possessed as the result of the number of its supporters... This happened to the Arabs at the beginning of Islam during the Muslim conquests."
-Ibn Khaldun
