IMO, God is just a figment of our imagination. We create God so that we have a gauge of what is right and what is wrong. We use God to validate our existence and assure ourselves that in the grand scheme of things, we belong. It all boils down to basic psychology.
We all know how deeply incorporated religion is in our culture. And we believe that there is indeed a God who created us and would eventually save us or take us away. And despite the inexplicable nature of our God, we make ourselves believe.
But the fact that we ask these kinds of questions, is proof enough that despite our belief and faith, we still have questions we want answered.

Do you mean to say GOD does not exist?

It may be, but is it valid to consider the alternative in light of the fact that there seems to be a near universal need to worship? And speaking about that, will naturalistic science be able to explain the need for relational spirituality?

...kani nga topic kay mag nosebleed jud ko sa mga tubag diwi...
God to me is a friend, a lover, a father, creator, saviour.
Every long lost dream, lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern Stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

The only explanation for that is collective unconscious. The basic ideas and images that we think we all share come from the things that we inherit.
This universal appeal of God-worship is nothing but another attempt of mankind to know what is and what is not.
Man created religion to justify his belief in God. Because he wants to be reassured that he believes in something that is real and valid. The Sun, Vishnu, Allah, Jesus, they are one and the same. They are the Gods that we made and worship.
With the widely accepted belief that we came from Adam and Eve, who both were God's subjects, who are we to say that God doesn't exist? And more importantly, who are are we to say that he does?

the need for something to worship is not an evidence that there is really something to worship. if god is really a transcendent entity, as christian theology preaches, then He (notice the male bias of middle eastern religions) does not have to exist for people to worship.
behavioral sciences have come close to explaining the nature of so-called mystic experiences, or other "spiritual" phenomenon. try Freud's "Future of an Illusion" for a start.
