I like to believe in Karma because I like the idea that everyone gets what they deserve. Cause and eventual effect. Doesn't mean that I have any evidence that it's real, and I wouldn't debate anyone on it, but it's a happy idea, and it makes sense to me.
I think this relates to what people are talking about "wiring". When my faith in fairness falters, I get depressed. I've seen enough injustice in this world to be really dismayed by it. I need to believe in the triumph of truth and understanding. Otherwise, this world would suck too much for me to feel good about living. I think this is part of what people refer to when they say "I just know God exists." I just know that things turn out correctly, eventually.
I'd venture to guess that those that are perfectly happy with an Atheistic view are also happy with a world that simply is, with only the observable laws of nature as we understand them to govern it.
I'd say we accept our own realities that we are most comfortable in.
