I do think it has to do with rules. When you talk about God the first response for many is "that means I have to follow a set of rules and morals" and "I have to admit I'm a sinner". This becomes an especially uncomfortable position when you have some that take their Christianity to an extreme that their way IS the way or you're going to hell. People don't want to be told they are going to hell. But I think a bigger part of this is the physical vs. spiritual aspect of things. If you can't explain it through a physical description (touch, smell, math,etc...) then it can't possible exist.
The part I find odd about this discussion is so many evolutionists will admit there is an intelligence involved in evolution without admitting their is an intelligent being that created it. It's easier to believe intelligence can exist out of nothing than to admit it could possibly be a being such as God.
