I believe I have read the same, or at least similar articles. The fact is there is a neurological basis for the belief in (a) God. Not only are pleasure centers activated when we think about it, but the very desire to believe is caused by neurological events in our brains.

This is how I think of it as well.
Our brain is the CPU, our senses are the input devices (mouse, keyboard, etc) while language and behaviour are the outputs (monitor, printer, etc).
Currently we have a slight understanding of all the different inputs and the corresponding outputs... but science still has a long way to go before we can simulate an entire world!
