I think people need a god to 1. ease their fear of death 2. To lend merit to their otherwise non-notable lives. Participation in a religion gives worth that isn't connected to merit. Thus if you have no intrinsic worth, religion fits the bill nicely.
Since I am not afraid of death (in that I know it is coming and am ok with the life I have led) and I have merit of my own, I have little need of supernatural powers to comfort me or lend me value.
God doesn't add anything to the equation and Ackham's razor takes him out.
