I base this off of faith in that there is no objective materialist evidence to support that. However there are subjective indicators that it's more likely that he exists than doesn't. That's valid for me and practical for me to say I believe there is a God through my faith. The fact that the support for that is experiential in nature and subjective, does and should, constantly be validated for accuracy. I do this by questioning, reasoning, doubting. I question whether I am interpreting my experiences accurately, I doubt at times (since belief is a continuous process) my intentions motives and experiences. I reason, attempt to remove bias and re-reason things regularly.
you said in all probablitiy.. so it's possible that he does exist.. that is a doubt. It's a natural thing to have doubts.. I don't see why it's such a difficult concept for me to get accross.

I have no doubts that, in all probability, god doesn't exist.
I am an atheist, tacky! Hence it is not so much difficult as impossible for you to convince me that your faith proves the existence of god. Or is your invisible friend your very own, personal god?
I don't have a doubt about god's non-existence. I am as close as it can get to stating that it is 100% certain god doesn't exist, but I am not as arrogant as people of faith, like you, who claim god exists without the evidence to prove it.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
