Some people just enjoy the idea of an all powerful deity who is watching over their lives, tweaking reality for an optimal outcome, and is generally concerned with their wellbeing too much to actually consider whether there is any basis in reality for believing in such a notion. The universe is a cold place that is indifferent to life, and the reality of this is enough to drive people to revel in an unsubstantiated delusion.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
