Well, I wouldn't be too sweeping with the anti-god thing. It's not really any easier to believe that everything (matter, energy, the universe) was always here, that our existence is a random accident or fortuitous occurrence, and that life therefore has no meaning. Yet, for some reason, both good and evil do exist.
Both suppositions (creator or no creator) are equally difficult to get one's head around. When we of finite capacity contemplate the infinite, whether it be physical or supernatural, no concrete conclusion is possible, as we lack the ability and time to process all the information. Yet the answer itself must exist: "true" or "false". I can't put down somebody for choosing one or the other based on his judgment given the unknowns involved.
