What I was saying no one is tasked, or should even try to, prove that there is/isn't a god/Giod. Religions have their beliefs based on Faith. Where as Atheists have their beliefs on the lack of faith. Or the faith that there is no god/God.
Let me just say this;
I had no bad experience with religion. At all. I was raised to be a Catholic, when I say raised, I was baptized and taken to Mass every week... up until I told my mother I didn't believe in God, and that was around the age of 6 or 7. I remember the conversation clearly it went something like "Mom, I don't believe in Santa Claus..." "Well, honey, that's alright, Santa Claus just makes Christmas fun, kinda makes it special... it's alright if you don't believe in him." "Yea, well, if he's not real, I also don't believe in the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny." "Well, they're pretty much the same thing as Santa..." "And if they aren't real, then I don't believe in God either." At which point the car was pulled over and all I can remember her telling me was "Wow... that's an idea most people don't get until they are in college..."
That's why I stopped believing in God at a very early age. Since then, I've gone to private parochial schools, and attended different churches/Masses, going with friends, or in the case of going to school, I was forced to go to Mass. Since that age, I've looked at the world without the idea of God influencing me in any way.
You can only choose your religious ideas as much as you can choose your political beliefs(this comparison only applies to people who are firmly set in a political group). Only something that makes you think long and hard on your ideas, has any chance of changing it.
God is not falsifiable, so God does not get involved in the scientific method. To even try that is almost retarded.
