Do you believe in a Creator?

I suspect that many people are aware there was likely some "creator" or intelligent force involved in the successful establishment of life on Earth who nevertheless say they do not think there was.  It's not so much that they're "lying" as it's that they really do not want to believe in a creator.

The better question then might be, why don't they want to believe in a creator?  That's the 900 pound gorilla in the room.

For some decades after Darwin even some moderately intelligent and well educated (by the standards of the times) people began to think science would explain the origin of life without a creator.  A significant part of society accepted that science had explained away all gods.  Everyone, whether they agreed with that development or not, had to adjust.  They changed the way they viewed their religions.  They adapted to the significantly reduced influence they could exercise from the standpoint of their religion.  Now they have fully adapted and they simply are not certain how to go back.  So much of the art of their religion has been lost.  Government took the place of religion.  Most people still are not aware what a terrible replacement government is, although it is beginning to become more obvious.

The concept of religion most people have is of a "Christianity" that has no discipline at all and only exists to antagonize government that is the only thing keeping any order.  That is of course a totally wrong view of religion.  Religion is the foundation of good discipline, not government.

So I would say that people do not want there to be a creator because they think the whole order in society would be torn apart.
