Why is he apparently so obsessed about things humans do now, like playing with their ######s or which direction you face when you pray? Does that sound like a competent, all-knowing entity that runs the show and loves everyone equally? Seems pretty petty to worry about stuff like that, given the size of the solar system and beyond.
Religion is a human manifestation and something to kill time with between birth and death.

My rationale is simple. If there is a god, either he sees all of the unjust suffering in the world (child starvation, illness, abuse, etc) but can't do anything about it, meaning he is not all powerful and doesn't deserve to be worshiped. Or he sees all of that suffering, has the power to stop it but doesn't, meaning he is uncaring and shouldn't be deserving of worship
There really is no reason to believe in god when you see the kind of world that so many innocent people are forced to live in
