It seems that some Christian or other theist people admit that believing is god is nor rational and not in accordance with many logical arguments. Yet, they still believe. It is like the left hemisphere of their brain telling them "there is nothing to support the existence of an almighty creator god; why do you believe ", and their right hemisphere replies "because I want to, I need it".
Let me make a connection with the entertainment industry. Even very rational people like me like watching irrational movies like Star Wars, Harry Potter or some anime (e.g. Naruto). I know the story it's impossible, but it's fun to watch and try to feel "what it'd be like if it were true". I think that god believers' brains react a bit the same way. They decide to believe because it makes them happy or give them some inner strength, like by watching a movie. They are just more right-hemisphere dominated people than the atheists or agnosticists.
