Because I am amazed at our amazing universe. I'm not saying it was "created" by "god" or any such bullshit. I'm just saying, "wow". This universe is so amazing, who knows WHAT is behind it.

I've got a slightly different outlook:

I too say "wow" when I contemplate the amazing universe, but the wow-factor kicks-in without me having to consider a "deeper reality". I am not going to say that I don't know how the universe works and then immediately contradict myself by saying that therefore I do know the universe is governed by an "ultimate reality". In fact I think my sense of wonder is heightened by the realisation that I don't know what is going on behind the scenes.
