One of the things it tells us is that God proponents should look to science to make their case. Philosophy will only lead to more questions, as it reliably does. God lovers should realize rehashing Anselm and Aquinas gets them nowhere. If they want to prove the existence of God, they need to work up a theory, design some experiments, and built instruments to provide data.
So either get to work on a CERN for Jesus, or just admit you believe in religion because it makes you feel better about yourself. That's a good step toward feeling better about yourself.
Many of them already believe that they possess a godometer - and it's on the basis of the report from this instrument (whatever it is) that they believe what they do. Not any argument or observation about the world around them.
