Does philosophy favor God exists, or it does not.

Philosophy is a human discipline investigating everything on the basis of reason and intelligence, investigating with focus on the ultimate grounds of existence or reality.

First, it investigages the who, what, when, where, why and how of an event or a fact or a phenomenon or a belief or even what is certainty as distinct from and opposed to doubt.

My on finding is that philosophy favors the existence of God, becaise ultimately God is the explanation for everything, period.

Unlike SW, philosophy takes a rational approach to the topic without resorting to personal abuse and wild logical leaps. There are some very good arguments that defend the notion that God exists. There are also very good arguments the other way. What this means is that both positions are reasonable and can be defended from the perspective of philosophy. Like science, philosophy should be pursued dispassionately and respectfully.

But once the discussion gets to SW it's just an emotive bun-fight that doesn't resemble a rational argument very much on either side.
