(Emphasis mine.)
Here you answered your own question.

Quote: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?

Categorically not.

I liked the article too. Whilst I can't empathise (I've never believed in a deity and never had the 'feeling' for lack of a better word that gods existed) with her I can sympathise and understand it.
