Just condensing your post to a few points.
I have problems with some peoples' concepts of god such as he's a jealous, vengeful entity who punishes anyone who doesn't follow a particular denomination or sect within a specific religion. Mystical traditions can result in a concept of god which is very different.
I don't believe in god because of lack of evidence for any deity other than as subjective experiences produced by human brains - this is why I'm very interested in that branch of neuroscience which is investigating what happens in the brains of people who believe they are having a religious experience.

I believe it's due to a state of mixed understanding of the creator.
Mostly, because people mix the concept of god with another religions ; claiming that it's the same.
