I think it's two separate questions, because you have to keep in mind that some religions don't have a supreme deity.
I don't believe in God because I see no good reason to. There is a whole myriad of things I don't believe in that are considered totally non-controversial. Bigfoot, Ghosts, Donald trumps hair. I have been failed to be convinced that any of these are real. Additionally I picture what a universe would be like with a God, and it is radically different from how this one is. Mainly I see no reason why God would go through the effort of hiding himself from everyone.
I don't belong to a non-Theistic religion like Buddhism because I think the path to happiness is different for everybody. No one philosophy is right for everyone. To reject religion is to reject group think. I can think for myself so I don't need some stodgy old clergy member doing it for me.
