"All birds in a cage and God is the keeper"

Does this quote not bring out the idea that we are not simply people with life, liberty, or property but servants to a god where "All birds in a cage and God is the keeper"? Why does this quote sound anywhere near right to anyone? Sure, some god may be greater than us, but if any god is to a human what a parent is to us, we shouldn't be full blown servants to our parents or god(s) (if they exist). If a god really was like a parent, wouldn't he/she allow us to have the freedom to release us from such a "cage"? Any god who wants to keep us in such a "cage" is denying rights unless the "cage" is for what I define as a bad person (limiting life, liberty, or property without a justifiable cause).
