Logically speaking, it is your basic premise that is giving you problems.

Throughout the history of mankind, unexplained natural phenomenon has given rise to belief in "something greater than us". The human mind created a myriad of gods and demi-gods to explain things like lightning, daylight, night, storms, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. Eventually these were cobbled together to form pantheon gods.

Science has proven that lightning is not a god throwing a spear. Even before that happened, there were many people who did not believe in a god throwing a spear explanation without proof. Mainly because it was nonsensical.
