I think the entire concept of gods is a human construct. The first gods mankind ever worshipped were invented as a primitive explanation to what was at the time an unknown phenomena. We study these kinds of fictional entities in history classes. It was during that time that man invented the first gods ever worshipped, and hence the god concept itself.
The Greek and Roman gods, for instance, were just as if not moreso real to them as our modern gods are to today's adherents. The key difference here is that these ancient civilizations collapsed, and so there was nobody around that they could indoctrinate with their god. Now they've been relegated to the pages of history. The only real key differences between the believers back then and the ones today is time and scale. Gods people worship today could just as easily become a historical relic, given the right circumstances.
So no, I don't believe in or worship any gods. I think that it's largely a poison for your mind.

Simply having people die meaningless deaths from the outcome of a gamble... It's better that way.
That gets closer to the meaningless death that is the essence of gambling.
I'll get closer to it's depths.
That's where the real pleasure in gambling is.
