I'll tell you why:
If god wanted me to believe in him, don't you think he'd show himself to me, or find some other way to prove it. Why does blind faith have to be the only way to "get to know" god? What's wrong with hard evidence? If god was all-loving, then don't you think he'd do all he could to direct us to the right path to salvation?
No - he just expects us to have faith, no matter what. My mind doesn't just work on the premises that, "I'll believe because I'm going to get some treat when I die, even if it's not likely that it's true." Testing us all of our lives doesn't sound like a very benevolent being to me.
If god expects us to believe in him, when evidence shows otherwise, then why did he give us the critical thinking skills to come to the conclusion that he doesn't exist? It's like giving ice cream to a child with ADD and telling her, "Don't you dare lick it, because if you do, I'll burn you forever." She's GONNA lick it, so why bother
