You should at least believe in the possibility of a God. There is a lot to this world that is unexplained. If you believe in God, you are simply believing in a theory. No one has proven it to be wrong. But some people have died and then resuscitated, then describing people that they didn't know, only to find out it was a relative. Or plenty of images of ghosts/apparitions, what are they, where did they come from, why isn't everyone a ghost, where do the people that aren't ghosts go?

"god" is not even a proper hypothesis, much less a theory

It's really simple. Has nothing to do with intelligence.
It's easier to believe that we have a chance to have an after-life and that there's some level of divine justice than it's to believe there's no divine justice and there's no after-life. By easier I mean it's reassuring. Kind of like how an optimist sees a glass that's half full and a pessimist sees a glass that's half empty. We don't really KNOW, so it's advantages to be an optimist. Studies show that prayer and faith act on us sort of like pets do. They relieve some of the stress. However, religion is so common that I wouldn't expect studies to be thorough in their methodology. More than likely there's a good bit of prejudice and nonchalance. 72% of americans identify as christian and 90% believe in God. I think that a full understanding of the negative effects (if any) of religion is still in our future. I am agnostic. I would support the idea of God if it had strong supporting evidence. I think that current evidence makes a fair argument that extraterrestrial life exists. Could that mean God? I mean, give humans 100,000,000 years to evolve and what will we become? I think common conception is that we will advance further and further. Might we become God? Or is there a cap to species advancement? But despite all that I believe when I die I'm dead, forever. Will be worm food. Contrary to popular opinion, this conception is not something that lifts my spirits or boosts my ego. It's despairing, but maybe truer. Winning an argument against a believer in God is not something to rejoice. I don't rejoice that I'll be worm food. My IQ is average. George Bush is a christian and his IQ is above 120. So... ...people who believe in God aren't necessarily dumber. Maybe they're smarter?

But like the holy grail, we'll probably never hold it in our hands... A few days ago I read that our solar system has 139 moons. Pretty cool, eh? The fact that we've only landed on one extra-terrestrial body outside our planet is proof enough to me that we've barely begun to scratch at the first atoms on the surface layer of a great behemoth expanse. Consider that there're 200+ sextillion stars in the observable universe and numerous moons and planets and asteroids and comets for every star. And for each galaxy there're probably billions of rogue planets that're either drifting amongst them or in their wake. And who knows what's out beyond the observable universe, but it's too bad that there's a terminator point that prohibits us EVER seeing or reaching any point beyond it. There're areas of the universe we'll never see. Never see, that's, assuming we're right about our central theories. (btw, there're trillions of cells in the human body and billions of humans. if stars were the cells inside humans then the total number of stars is similar to the actual number of stars we calculate there to be.)
