YOu make judgements about those of us without faith, but you ignore any and all evidence that shows that your judgements are spurious.
If God is the logos (see John, Chapter 1), then he is the source of all logic, and thus, would be infinitely logical. But, as described within Christianity, he is not. If there is a god, it makes sense to me that he would be rational and logical, not irrational and superstitious.
If a belief is irrational and superstitious, it seems natural that it originated with humans, not the divine.
