This has to take time into context. At one point, a belief in god was all that we had. We didn't have hard to vary explanations. As such, a person might have a belief in god as the only worldview currently. So it isn't irrational for that person, or people back in the days, to believe in god.

Irrationality may be all people had back in the day but that doesn’t make it rational.

This counter-criticism isn’t an invitation to continue this discussion at this point. See #1821.
