I understand why people imagine a God. They assign agency to things. They think in terms of humans doing things, so they created another humanoid who "made everything". They are uncomfortable with not knowing how we came about. Then they pretend it's not a humanoid, even though it has every human character flaw going.
The biblical God was simply the series of men who ruled the dominant empire in the Middle East area during ancient times. "God" was just a title. Look at the Japanese and the attributes they gave to their emperor god. We need to move away from the idea that there's some weird ass celestial deity watching over us. There's no such being in this solar system.
