Or what exactly is that evidence you expect?
I have high standards when regarding incredible claims. The sort of evidence must be verifiable. However, that isn't always the case, if there is a good level of credibility and likely hood I could become convinced without the need of evidence. But seeing as the god claim not only lacks evidence and credibility but is an extremely high improbability. So I have nothing to work with to determine the truthfulness of the claim, I end up rejecting it as nothing more than a baseless assertion. I won't claim against it, but instead with hold judgement until I see good reason to believe it.
If there can be no evidence I would be inclined to with hold judgement.
I do prefer verifiable evidence and quite often it is a requirement, but a good logical argument with credibility may be enough to sway me over.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
