There is no single answer that fits everyone but among the more common answers that fit most people:
God promotes love and family
God promotes a moral order that is opposed to chaos
God promotes justice; standing up for the weak, the poor and the oppressed
God promotes authority for those control freaks that want to be dictators
God is seen as a source of miracles such as healing
God is seen as a Santa Claus or as a servant to mankind
In other words, most people only know God in terms of who they wish God to be.
Likewise, those who reject God's reign are in reality rejecting a common understanding of God. For example, they may be rejecting the dictatorial God of the control freaks or they may be rejecting the Santa-Claus-like-God because life is too hard for there to be a Santa-Claus-like-God.
Few people approach this subject logically. Regardless of whether they accept or reject God, nearly everyone does so for emotional reasons.

Why did Israel keep falling away from God?
Israel was never monotheistic, although God was one of the gods worshipped. Even Judah was not monotheistic until the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah, and not wholly monotheistic until at least the time of the Babylonian Exile. The biblical authors had to recognise these facts, and explain them. The solution was to have prophets almost constantly calling the people back to God, but soon the people strayed. This creates the illusion of a national God and his people who, in spite of overwhelming evidence for the existence of God and his benevolence towards them, soon returned to foreign gods. We now know that these were not foreign gods: they were part of the ancient Hebrew pantheon.
