You don't need to, but if you care about what is true and what you can demonstrate to others, such sillyness as gods will make no sense.
If you wish to hold a confortable delusion instead of an harsh reality, its your perrogative, I won't stop you, but I prefer a bitch of a reality than a confortable thought any day.
