Yes, the above naturally makes more sense to an atheist. However, faith is not in the least about being reasonable, rational or sensible. You wouldn't try to define other matters in life such as love or passion on grounds of reason either, because you simply cannot. Religion, faith, monotheism, polytheism, afterlife, super-naturality, metaphysics, etc. don't fit into a scientific pattern because they just aren't intended to. Shoehorning a faux science on top of them like, say, "Intelligent Design" is where things become ridiculous.
