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.
Many of the things are not provable by analysis unless we agree upon some axioms. There are other things which are known by experience or innately and are simply to be reminded about or when spoken about, reveal what we innately know or have experienced.
I do care about what it is true. If I was convinced I was deluding myself into thinking God exists, I would not be able to think/believe God exists.
