And the reason to not cling...there are many reasons actually, but the ultimate reason is because then the door to Buddhahood is opened. I know you read Siddhartha and know that he had to let go of all attachments. So its no different for any of us. If you are attached to the idea of god, this too must be let go of. We can experience god-like-ness by letting go of the idea of "a god". Ironic but if you think about it its true. Ideas "about things" serve only to create separation, dual exisitence.
