I've always been fascinated by the demand of non-believers that God let himself be known. I seriously think if any non-believer was to have an experience of a being coming to them and knowing all about them and performing a miracle in front of them, they would probably still not believe. It's what is commonly referred to as a doubting Thomas. I think the only meaningful way is to reveal himself to all people at once in the sky so people can have corroboration. But I guess that's whats described in Revelation.
That's a pretty convenient opinion insofar as it excuses you from presenting any evidence.
You can't really say how I or any other atheist would respond. This is only self-serving speculation.
