Because humans cannot imagine Him.
That's the problem, mankind CAN imagine God. Mankind created the concept of God. God came from mankind's imagination. God is that which we can't explain, or can't control. The more mankind understands the workings of this world, the less God controls. In Christianity it is what happens after death. We don't know. Well, I think we do know, we just don't like it.
The rules surrounding the concept of God have changed since they first began. That's why we have so many religions. Since mankind created God, mankind can change the rules of the game so to speak. When they are unhappy with one religion they create another.
Just reading on this forum the various specifics about God that theists "know" and yet most of these specifics aren't within the book they call sacred. We interpret religious writings, we don't comprehend them. When we read them comprehensively, then we see the reality of their authors.
If God were truly a knowable being outside of the pages and imaginations that house him, then they could share the steps to
knowing God that all could follow.
Whether there is one supreme being that started this universe machine, I don't know, but, IMO, a known being is not what religion worships.
