Your observation is correct. Evidently, not everyone is looking for God. Our discussion has led to the category beliver/unbeliver, so I used the given context to make that point.
God may exist (that it is if we admit that) even if nobody is looking for Him and He doesn't cease to exist because there is no human construct to contain Him. After all, God is supposed to have created man and not the other way around.
Others may have an opposite opinion on that matter, and you know what? That opinion is also perfectly valid. For them. Here and now.
After all, diversity makes life interesting, doesn't it?
