mainly because he's only an observer. He can't actively interfere,

Basically you just said that God is not omnipotent, thus proving that the quote is right.

we've got the free will to prevent all this from happening.

Define "all". Do you mean we, the humans, can prevent everything? What about the "return of the Antichrist" which so many Christians fear and believe will happen? Can we prevent that? No. Can God prevent it? He's supposed to be the one protecting but since he's an "observer" (not omnipotent) he will just sit and watch.


What I'm trying to prove is: religion is the thing with most contradictions ever.

How does god being an observer imply that he is not omnipotent? And why would your fact that god is not omnipotent imply that he's not able to prevent the "return of the Antichrist"?
The only contradictious thing here is your comment, user medeiros.

Not all religions, but most of the ones that follow holy books. The contradictions are obvious, and so already proven.

BTW, the idea that God is omnipotent can come from a passive entity, provided that it set up the universe in such a way that each decision made by a conscious being will avalanche in an appropriate way. A very hard concept to describe, and mathematically impossible to solve, but the idea of God is a force/being/creator/etc outside of the laws of the universe, beyond mathematics and physics and reasoning.
