If you actually do feel that it's more realistic that god doesn't exist, by all means stop believing. What Paul seems to have been alluding to, however, is that you can't force yourself to believe or not. You can only interpret what you believe to be the most reasonable answer, and that reasonable answer is what you should believe in.

I've heard many a person that gave up religion say that they felt this at first, but eventually they were able to find their own meaning to life.
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
