Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

I do not but I understand most religions and their intentions (I don't know all of them) and hence don't dislike them.
I'm a science guy but I won't go as far as others and say that is the contrary to being religious or believing anything. In fact, lots of well known and big scientists who really contribute to our knowledge say there is something we don't understand and it could simply be described as God until we understand anything about it (if we ever do that is).

People who personalize God don't understand the theory behind it. That's also why questions like "why should I worship?" do not make any sense and are just general conversation but nothing beyond and meaningful.

But shouldn't we at some point stop ascribing things to God when time after time we uncover that it has nothing to do with God?

The question of "why should I worship" is simply a practical one. Why should I devote any time whatsoever pondering about God when I could just completely ignore him and live the exact same life? If there is a meaning to life(which I doubt there is) it probably isn't to waste my time doing essentially nothing.
