Although I don't personally agree, I see much value in the humanist philosophy. It makes sense that if we only have a little time on earth, and there's no life afterwards, so we should make the most of our time here.
However, it could be that you're just thinking of god in too narrow terms. God, if one exists (or many exist) is not a god in the traditional Judeo-Christian old man in the sky, writing down and crossing out names in the book of life. I think most humans are smart enough to know that god(s) is much more than that.
Personally, I believe in one true god (or a spirit of nature), but expressed in many different aspects, each of which I consider to be different gods. But the main thing isn't to find out what's absolutely true. God, like people, doesn't exist in one true category, whether it's my form of paganism, the Jack Chick god, the Great Spirit, or whatever else. I've come to realize that your quest for god ends with whatever you're the most comfortable with. I also believe that everyone's God is slightly different.
Think about what I said, and I hope it helped. I'm always here if you want to talk.
