Actually it is a very interesting question for a non-faithful scientific 
materialist such as myself. It leads to two questions of merit:

1. Since functioning brains are required for experience, and the function 
of said brains are completely physical, which structures and functions 
create the experience of God?

2. By Darwin, all structures must over any long time be useful for survival 
or they gradually vanish. What is the survival advantage of having God?

And a hypothesis:

Designing a brain via something like nanotechnology permits brains whose 
designs are not limited to the primate basis of ours. The types and variety 
of God experiences with these brains is a huge area for eventual exploration.
