I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?

After reading the article, my questions are:

Why on God's green earth is the human brain wired for faith when our development is the result of purely evolutionary processes with no supreme being involved at all?

Is it possible that God gave us brains that are pre-wired for receptivity to His existence to make it easier for us to believe in Him?

I'd say that our consciousness is meant to interact in this carnal reality of the animals we evolved from in the earthbound realm we understand as earth and reality that our five senses can perceive, so we still have that in our dna. There's information that experience of our ancestors still live with us. Our subconsciousness is more what connects us to our higher selves and the collective consciousness. Then there is the id as well. Really evolution was done so to allow the souls in the spiritual realm to inhabit so they could continue to evolve in a new experience we call reality, but earth is just a playground for us to learn.

Everyone has the connection, but many turn it off because although it encompasses this realm, it's outside our five senses, so it seems more natural to some to ignore it and adopt the perception of the senses.

God and the soul and spiritual realm is real, but while here we have a veil of ignorance put over our eyes to forget where we came from so we can learn without being hindered by our past experiences, but they still live with our subconscious. We are hear to explore possibilities with our free will, and learn through our experiences which can't be done in the spiritual realm without a physical body. For example, two beings can't meet from what I've seen yet to create a new being in the spiritual realm as that can only be done by the creator. Here in the physical world, we can unite as male and female in love and create a new child for a soul to inhabit and teach our lessons learned, and love that child and help it grow to go on to create more opportunities to learn for other souls. Earth is a place for souls to visit and learn and grow and interact with all.
