Since we've discovered the secret to lightning and volcanos, those gods have died... but since I doubt we'll ever unravel the secrets of death, I think there will always be a God of some sort to the mass population.
If you've "experienced God", more power to you. I can only say that I'm sorry it's never happened to me. Personally I would love to have an experience that would change my life, I'm even contemplating a pilgrimage sometime in the coming years to take time to "find myself." Perhaps I'll find spirituality along the way.
