Improve your rank against what? The only answer that fits that gap is "other people". We have another truism: play nice and people will like you. Be a dick and they will unfriend you (all else being equal, of course). It's what makes society work, at least on a fundamental level.
How do you get from there to "God"? Just feeling it to be true, even innately, isn't much of an answer and hardly convincing. Some misguided individuals feel that ABBA is the greatest popular rhythm combo of all time; won't make it true, though.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
