True. However, it is more rational to not believe in something when there is no evidence to support its existence than to believe in it for the sake of believing a lie over what is apparently the truth.

The truth right now is that supernatural deities do not exist any more than leprechauns or unicorns exist. If proof relating to the existences of these things can be provided, only then can we state that not believing in them would be lying to ourselves.
