Firstly, welcome to our forum.
I can understand why you feel the way you do.

Firstly, you need to realise the majority of us do not believe that a "god" does not exist.
That would make us arrogant like theists who "just know" that God exists.

Yes, we don't know many things. There are lots of weird and wonderful things  nature.
The brain can and does do amazing things.
Let's not confuse amazing things from this natural universe with "supernatural" things which defy the laws of the universe. The single most important things which brings people to religion is the concept of hell and an afterlife.
To us, it is blatantly obvious that the divine texts were written in this way to scare people into "believing".
This doesn't sound very "divine" does it. There may be a god, but we're pretty sure it's not the one as described in this sacred books.(And if it wasn't for these "sacred texts", where would religion be?

Basically, the concept of a god is for the philosophers, but man cannot control or make money from philosophy, so they invented religions! It doesn't get any more simple than that.
Catch.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
