I would say that people can just as easily believe or not believe in something. I find that the concept of God is a belief, and people may choose whether or not to hold that belief. While a higher power might help people understand the world around them, there are those of us that seek a more concrete view of the world. I don't think things 'just happened' - there's a reasonable explanation for them, whether it is currently known or not. I find it much harder to believe that anything was just 'created' out of the blue (no offense to those who believe otherwise). For example, I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable scientific explaination of how the moon and the stars came to exist, though I'm no astronomer so I couldn't give you a straight answer. I don't know, really. And I'm okay with not knowing things like that. But I could certainly try to find out, however complicated it might be. I guess any disbelief in a higher power is based on a willingness to challenge one's beliefs, a concept that may not appeal to everyone. And religious beliefs are easily challenged by those that wish to do so.
