Some I think....find the meaning in existance, without the need of the Higher Power. A base understanding of the realities (such as they are), we deal with daily might allow for a satisfaction to be felt simply because we ARE. The working knowledge of Quantum theory is a recurring theme I have found, in many who find a God to be unlikely, as it tends to indicate an analytical mind, one that questions the reality before it.
Having no possible way to "Prove" something exists, places a thinking mind in a difficult situation, as it must question belief based on those things is can touch and see. One is left to feel weakened by faith, as if we are unable to handle this life without some outside entity giving support in times of crisis. This does not mean the faithful are weak, rather it points to a difference in understanding, and perhaps a strength those who do not follow God lack.
Personally, I lost my faith in the biblical God long ago, and do not weep for the change. This was something I had no real choice in, as more science became clear to me, and study of world religions were not entirely up to the challenges set forth by observed reality. That said, I found great Solace in faith when I was younger, and wouldnt be who I am without it. Thus faith in God is a wonderful thing......It's just not for everyone.
