But... 'one cannot prove universal or absolute non-existence.'
Indeed, but one can show god as unlikely to exist as fairies and considerably more unlikely than unicorns. A one in a few billion chance isn't worthy of serious consideration. That a thing is not absolutely disprovable is no reason to believe in it without actual evidence for that thing.
You cannot prove there is no Deathstar armed with stormtroopers, but there is no reason to believe that there is one. There is no credible evidence for god either.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
