If I wanted to represent the strange facts happening in the quantum world; I would directly and straightforwardly mention that it rings a very strong bell concerning the idea of different dimension.
Actually we just became "able" to see another dimensions, that's the quantum world in a nutshell.
If that is true, then why is God and the idea of him existing be strange?
It is an argument from ignorance. Nobody claims to have seen God or demons or angels. That's why the "design" is stressed on to be the motive behind the belief: everybody is ignorant; to be honest. Investigating the design though leads to belief in God.
I would say that the design is enforcing itself; that's why I think about God. "Rings a bell".
You hate religion because you see the ugly face of many of the religious in it. Many people are nasty, from Catholics to Jews to Sunni/Shiite Muslims; their actions are nasty and their logic is nastier. Focus on them; and their logic becomes what you remember when God is mentioned.
Nothing is wrong with the idea of God; but everything is wrong with the ideas of the religious institution.
The thing with God is, that at this stage of knowledge, there just isn't a good reason to consider its existence. We have various science-based reasons to consider multiple universes, but not one for any entity that may be rightly called "God" (unless we're talking pantheism, perhaps).
You bring up design, but nothing in what we know suggests an intended cosmic design, only that it feels like this is all designed. But beware your biases when you argue that this universe is designed just because you think so.
When I personally judge the design; consistency is what impresses me. That consistency is what made "science" possible in the first place: the laws of physics for example. If we looked at them in the universe in more details it's just a matter of "changing values"; it's the same repeated theater elements but with different values.
Science's accuracy in measuring the variables around us, is not an indication that it will be accurate when applied to "different" variable types. Quantum Mechanics are my example: physical laws failed in that dimension.
