Well it's hard to deny that, obviously, we are all fundamentally unique combinations of both rational and irrational thinking. There are some things that we can recognize right away (often called intuition) without understanding exactly how or why, and there are also other things which we deduce through means of effortful and logical processing.
I think that people also sometimes suppress their first impressions (or their intuition) about something by trying to justify it through formal modes of rationalization. They do so because they overestimate the reliability of their logical reasoning. In regards to belief in God, and how this relates to what I just said, I think that every human being possess within themselves a latent inclination to believe that there must exist a great, incomprehensible mind or an intelligence behind all the natural events, behind the abounding complexity, order, and harmony that we see in the universe.
But unfortunately many people suppress this inner inclination by trying to make it conform with logic and evidence.
