I do not believe in a sentient god which is the only kind of god I consider relevant to have a discussion on. If you want to say the laws of physics is god that fine but it completely irrelevant to how a person would live there life.
As for why, because I have never seen any convincing evidence of an existence of one. With lack of evidence I fall back to what I observe from nature which is all knowledge and life evolves from simple to more complex.
A baby is less complex in it cellar makeup then an adult. I needed to learn addition before I could do calculus. Physics is less complex then chemistry which is less complex then biology. I don’t mean from the perspective of a human learning the subject in school but rather what is actually going on. That why Physics laws can be reduced down to a formula while biology require written explanations.
In order for me to believe in a sentient god, it require me to believe that in the beginning there was this infinite complex being with knowledge of everything and ability to create matter out of nothing.
For me I find it much more believable to start the universe with something extremely simple, some matter and the laws of physics. Through those two interactions the universe slowly became more complex, eventually leading to chemistry, then biology then life. Just like how I observe everything else in nature that I have ever learned about. That things go from simple to more complex instead of starting with something super complex.
