There is not one single shred of measurable, scientific proof for the existence of god,  so therefore there is no rational basis for believing in god.
When proof is presented, atheists will change their tune.   

And, you've got the cart before the horse.  As everyone keeps telling just about every proselytizer that posts here, the one making the claim for the existence of something is the one responsible for providing the proof.  Our skepticism simply needs scientific proof.  If you say "god exists" then you must provide the proof.  Put up or shut up.

The OP is trying really hard to convince us how a bachelor can also simultaneously be married.

Yes, sure, OP - a person who doesn't f*** strangers for money is just another kind of a prostitute. Whatever helps you deal with your own f***ed up family situation... Tongue

Delicate, just to get this straight...
You contend:
My car has no belief in any god or gods so it is devoutly of the atheist religion.
My driveway has no belief in any god or gods so it is devoutly of the atheist religion.
A newborn baby has no belief in any god or gods so it is devoutly of the atheist religion.

If you were to have specified that adherence to strong atheism in which the positive claim is made that no god or gods exist you might have had a point.
Since you miss the distinction, I have to invoke Hanlon's Razor.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
Though I may be being inappropriately generous.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

Don't pay you? You didn't really think this whole prostitute thing through, did you?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Put it this way. You'd be the cheapest prostitute I've ever done business with.
