Reasonable Assertions About Personal God Except One

Descartes thought about the "God" thing and came up with some really sketchy arguments that modern philosophers rip to pieces. Fortunately these days there's not any pressure to agree with whatever the Church says.

Scientists and philosophers these days don't even bother considering such questions. With good reason - it's so completely obvious to any critical thinker that the "God" that religious zealots try to make us believe in is made-up and non-existent. It's much more interesting trying to explain things that do exist, or for which there is evidence that they might.

If theologists want to worry about such questions, fine, but I don't see how it fits in with any of Science, Math, or Philiosphy.

Wouldn't the thought process behind non "critical thinkers" be of interest to the scientific methods? Afterall that group is the majority of the population. Whatever makes up the thought process behind billions of people across thousands of years must be of some value to at least one critical thinker. It would make sense to study a group, or sub group that represents a vast majority of the total human population versus the smaller secular population.
