When one consider that the basic meaning of "God" is a "Supreme Being", then one can choose to believe that such a "being" exist or not exist - based upon what you already believe about the concept of the term "being". Then it comes down to what you believe about "supreme" - that is, can one being actually be supreme?
If one only consider the many attributes that are attached to the concept of a Supreme Being, then by default, that person already believes in a supreme being but is either accepting or rejecting the attributes associated with a give concept of a supreme being.
Thus, depending upon how deep (what level of analogy) one wish to search into the subject, they can choose to accept or reject concepts concerning any or all ideas of a supreme being. Or, one could conclude that the Supreme Being is actually "real" (has existence) and that everyone else have a misconception as to the attributes of said Supreme Being.
So, each of us, depending upon how deep we wish to go into a given subject (in this case God), we can choose to accept or reject ideas and concepts based on our personaly findings and how we relate to such findings.
I choose to believe, like Spinoza, that there is only one substance and that it is uncreated; and everything else, the naterial universe, is an attribute of this one substance.
