Originaly people believed in a higher entity as a way to explain the world around them. A god to control the storms, thunder and lightening. A goddess to control the crops, heards and changing of the seasons. But now with our technology many people are saying that there is fewer and fewer evidence to explain why people should believe in a god. We know the sun sets and rises because the earth is round and what we precieve is the earth rotating to produce the days & nights, the orbit around the sun with earth's tilted axis produces the different seasons. Sunlight is required to make plants grow so they go into hibernation when there isn't as much available.
People believe in god now for the sake that people develop habits and those habits are practiced with other members of their family to produce traditions. Thus it is now tradition to believe in a god that your parents believed in. Many reconstructionists are now trying to recreate the religions of old to gain better understanding and access to their ancestors through believing in the same gods and goddesses. So while the purpose in believing in a single god, many gods & goddesses has changed they are still there for comfort in understanding the unknown.
The real question you should now ask yourself is why do 'you' believe in god or why you don't.

GOD stands for "Good Orderly Direction" and Dog spelled backwards. We humans are both, as proven by the worlds happenstance..so believing in God is the same as knowing we exist. Problem is we can prove we exist as by the mess we made here on earth, some good too..God not so easily proven. Jesus existed during Roman times which begs the question why no records exist of The Jesus..pictures, statues, whatever and the Romans documented everything they did. Time line studies show there is no recorded dates of The Jesus birth or death which makes his existence questionable. The bible states in many versus there is no life after death, as heaven and hell was not made for man. You will be dead with no memories, feelings of any kind..just dead and decaying, ceasing to exist. You better hope there is a God if you want eternal life but don t hold your breath just hoping. Hope is the same as useless. Ask yourself has God ever answered just 1 prayer of yours so far n your life..certainly not in my life and I am old, retired, waiting for my lifetime to come to an end. Wake up people!!!

They have to believe in God. When they see the sun, moon, stars, and earth it comes in their mind whether they are moving accidently on a very precise path. How they shine? How a little seed tears the soil away and grows up tree? Who put this power in it? When they see animals, they astonish. Because they eat green food their blood is red and their milk is white. Is this an accident. The precise circulation of blood in the body, the amount of insulin, the production of glands, is it by an accident or some one created it?
The answer is God. Only one true God who is creator of everything.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deuteronomy 6:4
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Mark 12:29
Say He is Allah one and only Quran 112:1

Because they are taught of god's existance from a young age. Because it offers answers to questions that no one can explain. Because it gives many people internal peace to believe that he is there. I don't criticize any one who chooses to believe in God's existance, I criticize the ones who are unable to understand that I believe differently.

It’s a nice warm blanket, or a reason to get up in the morning. Everyone feels weak and if they can have something to believe in then they are powerful for that.

Gal. 2:20-21
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"

I think the better question in this situation is "what would cause someone NOT to believe in God" Not trying to be sarcastic, give it some thought. ...
