Drich, I'm not going to respond to your entire post, but I will at least address what you said about proof.
I believe a lot of atheists misunderstand the concept of "burden of proof". The burden of proof always lies on the person making the positive claim. HOWEVER, "there is no god" is, contrary to popular belief, just as much of a positive claim as "there IS a god". However, a lot of us are agnostic atheists (probably most of us actually. I don't think I've ever heard someone call themselves a gnostic atheist.), and since agnostic claims are NOT positive, "there is a god" is ultimately the claim with the burden of proof.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell
Even if god did exist, he has yet to prove it, and our doubt is justified.
