I think a lot of people are "opposed" to the idea of god (which is a strange way of putting it - lack of belief does not necessarily equate to opposition) because it's a little weird to think about basing your entire life around something that may or may not exist, and the worship of which has caused much pain and suffering in human history. For me, there's no real reason to believe in god, just as there's no real reason not to.
And I'm not sure why you're baffled why we'd put more faith in humans - I can see other humans, I can observe their behavior and its effects, speculate as to its causes, predict future behavior. Why should I put faith in some, to me, mythological being who may or may not exist, and for whose existence there is no evidence? And don't give me that Pascal's wager bullshit.
