If someone’s starting point is that the earth is 6000 years old then sure, this is irrational in a sense that it’s not something very likely to be true given our current scientific knowledge.
But in general, I don’t think it’s irrational or more like anti-science to believe in God per se. If your starting point is that the big bang theory is plausible but we don’t know what was before currently, then the question of God and religion is simply: do I think there was just nothing and a singularity has caused this or do I think it is really or more plausible that there’s actually just like some being being that created all this.
At that point you can have interesting philosophical discussions and I don’t think it’s a sign of anything to have beliefs about something that we can currently only speculate about anyway.
