Not everyone who believes in some verion of a God necessarily believes in an omnipotent God. And God as a religious experience isn't logical, but much of our experience of reality doesn't comform to the expectations of our logical arguments. Logic is based on certain rules that help us to think consistently, but all logical arguments must begin with some beginning assumption. In the case of many religious people, the beginning assumption is an experience.

So, what if a religious person experienced God as omnipotent and so that was their beginning assumption?

But why, starting from that premise, do you think that a logical argument would lead to a conclussion of illogic?
