Yet your assertion remains bare (you could say non-smart/ ignorant (how are those different! lol). People favour the idea of god for very smart reasons: All to do with personal fulfillment and attainment otherwise impossible.
Simple fact is there is no evidence to discern God from any other possible explanation of origins and thus no reason to favour the "sky daddy" explanation over any other, let alone organise your life around such an idea. Personal fulfilment is irrelevant when searching for the truth, if you are not prepared to accept what is found, like it or not, and instead hide behind your cushy religious smoke-screen of assumptions, you have defeated the purpose of looking to begin with.
