@OP. Just consider if you're wrong and there is no god... then all you've done is create a fictional entity in your mind that makes you feel good because you have low self-esteem. I think I had a similar thing going on when I was a Christian... the whole 'personal relationship with Jesus' thing... and I'm pretty sure that's the motivation of a few people I know; feeling inferior/unloved in the world and for that reason I think it would be particularly hard for them to lose. But I just see it as self-medication... that never deals with the underlying issues. Much better to learn about psychology, introspect, and/or get therapy to deal with your self-esteem issues and deal with the underlying problems.

Brilliant and true.

People need to feel connected.  If they don't get an adequate amount of that from other living things, they will invent what they need.

Also, I'm insulted the OP assumes we never tried to find God.  The fact is the majority of people here spent time as sincere believers, suffering while deeply seeking God and finding nothing.  Common assumption though, the fault must lie in us, of course.
