And historically, not one of them has been successful.

Whereas, the apparent existence of evil denies God of either of the attributes. And so, the God loses His divinity.
Whereas, there is God, i.e. the Supreme Intelligence, i.e. the Absolute - perfect, omnipotent, omnipresent, benevolent, just and unchanging.
If God has the above attributes, there can never be room for evil. Where God is omnipresent, evil will be 'omniabsent'. Where God is omnipotent and benevolent, evil remains non-existent.
The so-called evil is not evil in the real sense of the term. What we call evil is good, i.e. painful good; while the opposite is the pleasurable good. No solution without problem; No peace without war. Each effort spells advance.

There's also a lack of evidence to support the claim <God exists>, no compelling argument that God's existence is necessary, and, as near as I can tell: All the present arguments for God's existence are Arguments from Ignorance.
"I don't know :. God Did It."
Which historically, has been knocked down like dominoes with the rise of rational thought, and the rejection of superstition.
Of course, there are still those who believe aliens built the pyramids, and that the earth was created in 6 days; The people who just can't stand not to "know everything," so they accept a supernatural explanation rather than saying "I don't know" and deal with their fear of the unknown like adults.
