One way to look at it is that belief in god is literally "all in your head". Some people choose to believe in a higher power based on how they have been raised and their interpretation of the world around them, but the actual existence of this higher power exists only in their head. They refer to it as "faith".

In the end, there is no physical evidence for the existence of god(s). There is no evidence for the existence of any "afterlives". There is no evidence that any god(s) interact with our world in any measurable way. Does that mean that god(s) do not exist? No, but for those not pre-dispositioned to believe, there is no compelling reason to.

To many, the existence of god(s) is as real to them as anything else, but it is truly "all in their heads". Not to diminish the experience for those that have it, but not all people have it.
