This book goes into details:

http://www.amazon.com/How-Changes-Your-Brain-Neuroscientist/dp/0345503414

God keeps coming up as a concept among humans for numerous reasons, which I touched on in my post.  This does not mean there is a God, just religion and the pondering of God follows the human experience.  Even people who won't do formal religion, or say they are religious will still get involved with God concepts.  It is also possible some people ave brains more receptive to the concept of God.

At the very least, the concept of God is a concept humans like to play around with.

Wow...and most humans also ponder about fairies and ghosts too. This seems like one of the most worthless book I've ever heard of. Seriously, who gives these people funds?

You may want to seriously look into developing even a minor bit of respect for things you disagree with.  Based on the amount I have read of what you wrote, it isn't going to be you lack of faith that will get you in trouble with your parents.  You will have problems with your parents, but not due to your lack of faith.  And that is about all I will say on that, because you apparently know everything and are fully qualified to tell people what is of value... particularly your parents.

I just took a look at the book and the synopsis isn't very convincing. It states believing in God reduces anxiety, stress, enhances sociol awareness....but there are many ways of doing all those things without believing in God. Furthermore there is NO mention of the disadvantages of believing in God of which as history will attest to there are numerous. I doubt very much it is a fair and balanced book rather I suspect it's either written by a fundamentalist or the funding of it paid for by religious institutions.
