Fair point. However, I feel I should add that it's reasonable not to believe in something for which absolutely no evidence exists, but not so reasonable to believe in something for which absolutely no evidence exists. Saying "I believe in God" has exactly the same validity as saying "I believe the world is being run by magical purple mind control unicorns".
Absolutely no evidence is a silly way to phrase it. Saying "I don't believe in God" is the same as saying "I fully believe that humans can process and understand with ease all that is around them"
What we call a quark could easily be evidence to point towards any deity (save for personifications of them) being real. Just because the language used is foreign doesn't mean the point is moot.
(happy that I got so deep into science that I've broken past the barrier of atheism :D )
God may exist in some sense (i.e. a being that exists on a completely different scale both in time, complexity, and size), but if it does (and there is no evidence whatsoever that this is so) it has absolutely no relation to the personalized God claimed by any of the world's religions. God in the sense that any religious person believes does not exist, and for any who claim it does I absolutely challenge you to produce any evidence of that.

God exists exactly as much as Satan: not at all.

You're use of the word evidence should be further explained. Is this evidence you seek something you can see and touch?
rodental ago
Yes. Show me some data that shows the existence of God, then show me the reproducible method you used to obtain that data.
