Personally I go with this:
1. I exist
2. The world exists
3. I didn't make either of the above
4. Therefore someone else did (could have been a god, many gods, or we could be some alien kid's 3rd grade science project)
I like the idea of a creator who made the universe and then left us to our own devices.

If I can believe in my god, why can't I believe other gods exist? Isn't that like saying, "Earth is the only populated planet in the universe"? A little egocentric, don't you think?
As to why I worship "God" (Whatever his name really is) vs say, Odin.
Believe in "God" and that he understands your life, good and bad. Go to heaven, live forever.
Believe in Odin, party down in Valhalla until the end of the world, then die forever in a glorious battle. Unless you happen to be one of the 2 people that will be reborn after the end of the world (some tales predict more than just 2) and end up rebuiling the world without any divine influence whatsoever; exist without the love or light of your gods ever again.
I'll take God. His soul retirement plan's a bit better in my mind.
