Currently I've been looking a little more into why Christians believe in God (I've seen some ideas about how God could be a manifestation of our own ego, for example) to gain some perspective before I look into the ontological/teleological/etc. arguments.
Perhaps it would be interesting to look at the origins of the gods themselves;
ie; the paintings of Lascaux and the Venus Figurines.
Contemplate what they meant to the people who made and used them.
