For a concept to be considered reality, there must exist the proper evidence to support it. [2]
There has never been evidence to support the existence of god, despite there having occurred throughout history many proofs for the existence of many concepts. [3]
1. ...and in reality Please see no. 3.
2. I agree.
3. It is not true that there are no evidence to support the existence of God. The 5 ways of St. Thomas Aquinas is an evidence that God exist and to deny that is to deny both reality and logic, for his 5 ways are arguments which starts from the things we can sense with our 5 senses and it proceed with valid logic and true premises like principle of sufficient reason.
Therefore, God is not a concept which is not derived from reality.
