Now I know a lot of atheists have more reasoning than that, which is great, but in every "why don't you believe question", the typical answer is, "there isn't any evidence". I think that's just insufficient. The huge prevalence of believers should require you to actually have reasons to believe the idea is false, rather than just lack of evidence to believe it is true. Otherwise, why not just go along with the crowd? Hey, there's a pretty good pay off if it's right. Heaven, and constant guidance from an omnipotent and loving being.
Now you might have reasons to reject this, which is good, but if you don't believe in it simply because there isn't any evidence for it, well that seems a bit silly to me. Because there could easily be a god, an be no discernible evidence for it. So saying that there is no evidence for it doesn't even come close to disproving god. I know you can't disprove god anyway, but at least have some proper reasoning, ie. Boeing 747 gambit, or something like that.
