I believe that there is a spiritual component involved with human life. Perhaps it's a mental function we don't understand, or some vast linking mechanism that connects us to one another. The point about it is that we are inside the paradigm that we are trying to understand. We have spiritual experiences, and since they reach beyond our understanding, we're not entirely comfortable with them and become rather anxious about them.
Our minds work constantly to resolve unanswered questions, and as long as the question remains unanswered we remain a bit antsy.
Since our minds cannot answer the spiritual questions that present themselves to them, they do the next best thing: They make up an answer.
We have been making up answers as long as we've been able to encounter spiritual experience. Some of our answers are theological and involve "God."
We take our undefined spiritual experience, make up a story that puts our restless minds at ease and then begin to elaborate upon the story, adding ritual in an attempt to recapture the spiritual experience and doctrine to make the experience comprehensible. Soon enough, we have a religion.

I believe in God...not god or gods. Father, Creator, the Trinity---three in One. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost.

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."

I don't believe it is possible to know if there is or isn't a god, but I am fairly sure that, if there is a creator, it isn't one humans have thought up yet.
