Would you ever change your mind God's existence and become an atheist?
Things are always changing, and at times my focus's may lead more in one direction, and then the another in the next. However; I think that from the philosophical, presuppositional, and scientific arguments that at minimum I would be a deist, and I don't find that the atheist or materialist worldview matches reality as well. As to Christianity, and where I began. I believed the history. I feel that Christianity is unique in it's dependency and place in history. Many of it's claims where done in public, and and where falsifiable by those who opposed, and those who followed. They refer back to history, among a number of different authors, throughout a large span of time, and over a varied geography. It both points forward and looks back.
I would be open to a case made for atheism, but it seems that most either retreat to a neutral skeptical position; mostly because those who try to make a hard case, can't really back up or give reasons for their view.
