First of all explain what god is...
Is there a rational explanation of what god is?
For example, if an alien race arrives here, and we tell them we worship a god, That we can not see, we can not prove, we can not know his,hers, it's existence, nor that he, it, she, exists. But trust us we have *faith* that god exists!! This alien race would arrive at, The we are pheble minded creatures that have yet, to evolve. They are not wrong.
To be self aware, is not to arrive at god. Self awarness led to spirituality, but not at the sence of religious spirituality.
God: They claim that they perceive a mode of being superior to your existence on this earth. The mystics of spirits call it "another dimension" which consists of denying dimensions. The mystics of muscle call it "the future," which consists of denying the present. To exist is to possess identity. What identity are they able to to give to their superior realm? They keep telling you what is not, but never tell you what it is. All their identifications consists of negating: God is that which no human mind can know, they say--and proceed to demand that you consider it knowledge--God is non-man, heaven is non-earth, soul is non-body, virtue is non-profit, A is non-A, perception is non-sensory, knowledge is non-reason. Their definitions, are not acts of defining, but of wiping out. Ayn Rand.
Remnants of the bicameral mind exist in every human brain. Those remnants cause a desire for guidance by outside or external "authorities". Dr. Frank R. Wallace Neo-Tech Lit.

yinyinwang, you are quiet correct, I am remnant of ancient men, I too had to defeat, conquer my mysticism by discovering what was wrong I was able to overcome hardship of bicameral mind. My apolegies, for mentioning "ignorance" I too had ignorance, though I never quit searching to enlighten my atheistic mind.
The day I quit learning, is the day I die!!
Godless.
