5. Because it makes sense.

The natural world, by its own terms, cannot be explained naturally.

Nonbelief requires a basic acceptance of two things: 1) look around, there's nothing else, and 2) we can only accept what little of it we know or may know. I have no idea why people would bind their minds like that.

If either of those premises were proven or had evidence to support those ultimate conclusions, it would be another story. But instead, the logic goes: since there is no evidence of anything beyond what we see or will see (which is precious little), therefore, nothing else can be accepted - regardless of whether it indeed exists.

Details will be filled in but that is all that it comes down to. It's essentially a stance for the incurious.
