Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

I'm not making a choice.

I don't choose what to believe.  I evaluate the evidence I see, and I make a decision.  For example, I believe that Australia exists.  I've never been there to confirm it, but there is an abundance of evidence.  Would you say I'm choosing to believe in Australia?  On the contrary, I don't believe Narnia exists.  Again, would this be a choice, or just an evaluation?

 Nobody has yet presented evidence to me that suggests a god is interfering with the world, so I don't believe in it.  I can't choose to believe even if I tried really hard.  At best, I could pretend to believe.  I could choose to follow a religion despite not believing in it, but that would be kind of bizarre wouldn't it?  

Can you prove to me that an nth dimension doesn't exist or does exist? Can you find evidence of another universe? No right. Hell you can't even see the entire universe only the parts whose light reaches us. So if that's so hard to observe and prove, what makes you think that you can do the same with the creator? Unless He wants it?

If there is a god who interacts with the universe, but does so in a way specifically designed to avoid detection... Then I guess I couldn't detect it.

But, what reason could I possibly have to believe this god exists?  How could you tell the difference between an undetectable god, and a non-existent god?  

I also don't believe in an nth dimension or another universe, for largely the same reasons.  Why and how would/could I believe in something that cannot be detected?
