Because there are explanations for the phenomena that cause you to believe in God that are equally as good as the God-derived explanations. When you're faced with two equal sets of explanations and opt for one over the other (especially in view of lack of evidence for Godism and in spite of the overwhelmingly strong evidentiary support for naturalistic explanations) you've opted for belief over knowledge. Epistomologically, that's always been a weak stance to take.
That being said, I don't doubt the sincerity of your belief. That is to say, I don't think you're having us on or anything of that sort. I think you hold your beliefs deeply and seriously but at they end of the day, that's all they are - beliefs, not knowledge.

I may have already asked you before in another thread, but what would God have to do to prove to you that he exists? How high is your bar set.
