It is amazing that you or anyone else could believe that! Your belief

Or, God could be "allowing" us to exercise our sovereign wills and
test all those things that we would be curious about were we not given
this period of "hands on" learning.
Had God pre-programmed us such that we would never go against His will
and become engrossed in the things that we are now learning about, we
would have been nothing but a bunch of puppets. Absolute sovereign
will and immortality make it necessary that we learn by our own
experiences, not by some pre-arranged programming of our minds.

Yes, God HAS announced to the prophets and to most of us, that he is
there and that His program is running just as He expects it to run.
The other gods you mention are indeed figments of human imagination,
but these spates of imagination have served and still do serve a
useful purpose in our "school of hard knocks" learning process.
Just as you have learned to reject these imaginary gods, all humans
have or will learn to reject them and embrace only the real God.
