I think the key is in the word "rational". Or you might look at the smug and inhumane behaviour of believers over the last 2000 years and decide it would be unethical to associate with them. Or you might ask which Him? The protestant or the catholic, since belief in either is apparently a reason to despise the other? Or the prophet in whose name you must slaughter infidels, oppress women and ban anything that looks or sounds enjoyable?You don't need faith to behave decently but it provides an excuse for evil. Yes, I've looked into it, and quickly put the lid back on that seething mass of superstition and corruption.
You may have stumbled upon the obvious. Half the people in any courtroom are lying. It is the job of the judge and jury to determine which half is the more plausible.
HIS love, this divine love (agape, Greek) is available to all who seek HIM. Scientists must ask themselves and lay people alike why would any rational human being not seek HIS love? and study their answers carefully.
Would an objective scientist be willing to critique his excuses?

Some scientists believe in God so they might ask that question. Theologeans ask that question I believe.The main reason that scientists don't address that question is that it can't be answered in the realm of science sine its not falsifiable or testable, both of which are required in any physical theory,
