No.

There was a period in my life when I had first stopped believing in God, but wasn't really ready for it. I really wanted to believe again, yet I found I couldn't make myself.

I have since become comfortable in my lack of belief. I don't want to go out of my way to look for an entity that is responsible for the current state of affairs in the universe. I don't really want to fabricate an entity like that just so I can believe in it.

Now, if it turns out there is a god and there is some evidence for it, then I'll start believing. I might not like that god, depending on what it's like, but I could believe in it.
