For the non-religious people, who don't believe in any for of organized religion but believes in God or gods, what is your argument for the existance of God or gods?

Surveys say that there are more non-religious people who don't believe in organized religions than pure atheists. I'd like to hear some of their views since they should matter more than atheists who are in extreme minority.

I will answer for the non religious belivers of God or Gods. They would say someone must exist in order to create everything. It kinda the easy solution to why things exists. I know the real reasons why we exist but, I have not the time to explain this now.

The ontological argument wouldn't convince me. Why not? Just because I can think of something doesn't mean it exists. I think that's self evident. I neither believe in nor disbelieve the existence of god. All I know is there is no way to determine whether god does or does not exist. Because this is the case, on the subject of god, I know nothing and have no answer. Doesn't really bother me one way or the other. We are all people. Some people choose to have faith in a particular subject, some people choose not to, some people sit back and enjoy the show.

It's 'existence'.
And a non-religious persons argument for the existence of a 'God' or 'Gods' is basically the same as a religious persons argument.
It is their opinion, based on some modicum of faith in the unseen.
The non-religious person simply doesn't think that any of the religions that they have been exposed to have anything to offer past superstitious nonsense.
Personally I think that it's possible (though not probable) that there is some higher intelligence in the universe. Some religions have pieces of the puzzle, but I don't think any of them have got it put together.
If there is some kind of 'God' I think it is simply the sum total of everything. We are all part of it. Judeo-Christian mythology attempts to put humans at the center of everything.

No no I heard it was yellow/purple monkeys. Left half purple the right half yellow I was told there is a book that talks about their existence, when I asked is it possible for me to see them I was told I could only worship them and even ask for things when I did I got nothing and gave up in believing in them.
To your additional information about being an extreme minority you really need to check globally to see which countries, nations and etc that do not believe in god. Then again it would useless to you since you're so deep in that delusion call religion along with wishful thinking.

Why would people who don't believe in organized religion need an argument for the existence of God? If there is a christian who thinks that most churches are corrupt...why does that christian need a "special" argument for the existence of God?

One argument could be the observation of cause in effect in natural events, but the data suggesting that the universe has a beginning. Without the ability of anything in the universe to create the universe itself, there must be an outside source. Such a source would be considered the creator of the universe, therefore "God". Relative to God, the universe would then be an expression of creation, or in other words art.
But my belief in God has nothing to do with logic. It is by experience.

I personally don't argue with people who don't believe as I do about such things. I believe they exist because I am part of them. I believe that our existance is simply for growth of the one, to which I will return to being part of at some point in time.

I'm fully atheist, but I'd guess that they'd go with the supposedly designed quality of the universe to support life, yet they would not go so far as to say that thus God cares about humans or Earth, only enough to allow the possibility of life.

My personal belief is that the God and Goddess put every bit of themselves, physical (matter) and spirit (energy) into the creation of the universe. Every particle of matter and every micronewton of energy that exists is a part of that God and Goddess, and everything and everyone is part of each other as well as part of the whole.

The exact same argument I have against the existence of purple Moon monkeys. There is no evidence for them.
