The answer to that is yes. I am even inclined to believe gods/demigods aside from the Creator exist but come no where close to the greatness of their Source of greatness. The reason for that, is I believe God wants life to be heading towards greatness and there being no limit, it's very likely that some creation have reached that and if not, then are on the way to be reaching that.
I can say factors that motivate me to want to believe in God are as follows:
Life of all creatures continuing.
A higher purpose.
Delight for a Ultra Being existing ( I feel happy for God)
Spiritual connection
Closeness to God, feels like God would be closer to us than family.
I would say also that 3 is probably the strongest factor. I'm in love with the Divine and feel very happy for it existing and being ultra great/ultra peace/ultra bliss.
I don't know how to do away with any of these factors.
