Like I said, if it goes against your understanding you’ll never truly believe it, not for long at least. It’s not choosing to believe with no “good reason”, it’s choosing to believe despite there being no relation at all between matters of fact (ascertained by the senses) and that. Check out Hume’s fork, it’s kinda like that. God is not in this world, God is necessarily outside of it and of a different nature (we’re data for God the programmer, we’re his free-willed Sims and the universe is a sandbox) so you can’t find Him here, through our senses, and added to that are the classical fork interdictions (e.g., moral statements cannot derive from matters of fact, one can simply not care).
And if you have some somewhat prosocial if not completely developed set of moral standards, well that’s great, I’m happy! Men are made good after all, hence the propaganda needed to turn one against each other.
