The majority of humans who have ever lived didn't believe in YHWH. Umpteen millions of people alive today don't believe in him.
If there really is a god why haven't all humans in every time and place believed in the same one? I was about 8 years old when I became interested in mythology and other religions - it didn't take long before I realised I didn't believe in any of them because nobody could agree about who the deities were and what they wanted.

All it proves is that many humans have thought about it a lot and written their thoughts down. Thinking about and writing about something doesn't automatically make it true, though.
