The Road Why does the kid say he talks to his dad more than he talks to God?

The boy prefers to talk to his father, and he had promised to talk to him every day.

He cried for a long time. I'll talk to you every day, he whispered. And I wont forget. No matter what.

He tried to talk to God but the best thing was to talk to his father and he did talk to him and he didnt forget.
