The non-fundamentalists and less conservative generally see God in a different way. He doesn't cause damnation nor is he the cause of inclement weather. They also don't generally take the Bible as literately true, rather they see it as a Metaphor in some ways. They also don't consider him to be quite as powerful in the way emotions go. and that he created Evolution as well as Adam and Eve (from other Primates). Mostly here; God isn't seen as fearsome and strict.
