Can you put a tiny little area all the way to the right that says ‘God does not exist’, and a brain the normal size with normal facial expression. Then you’ll be accurate. Belief in God is not required for good ethics and morality. Belief in God is pure mysticism. Bring on the downvotes. I support Trump based on reason, not mysticism.
Those who believe in god due to what you define as "mysticism" are the ones on the left side of the graph. Looks like you are in are falling somewhere in the middle 😆.
The deeply educated belief has been silenced for some time (and not exactly taking great effort to communicate) so it's not an unfair question at all. There are some exceptional resources on youtube if you want to go all the way through the looking glass, but C.S. Lewis's books are an easy place to start.
If you need it now, in once sentence, the more you study the material world, the more clear it is a medium, not the source of reality. Ancient people discovered this, recorded it, mythologized it, ritualized it, and passed it down to us where many now blindly reject. Questions about the mechanisms of God's agency in this process is an open question from the modern era, potentially flawed in the framing.
The chart is misleading, not everyone in the middle intellectually is stupid enough to believe that the crowd-sourcing of natural theology into science is robust enough to make them their own gods. Most people don't even realize that is the garbage they are being fed in modernism and post-modernism, I know I didn't when I was younger.

Why do the ones on the right believe in god?
