If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?

[Mister Agenda]

Why do you assume we have an opinion about how xtians carry out their alleged biblical orders (my bolded).  I like people who are well mannered, interesting and forthcoming.  Christians who are likable as people are fine by me.  The pushy, dishonest ones can all go to hell, yourself included.

 Because the atheist here have said many times that a good Christian is one who doesn't bothers others with their beliefs.

That's not what makes someone a good Christian. Not nagging and haranguing people who would otherwise be minding their own business is part of what goes into making someone a tolerable person. Not a good person, a tolerable one. Good people can be annoying as all get out, but the ones who are get little traction in attracting people to their point of view. Tolerable people may just be apathetic, or nasty and twisted in minor ways that they're good at hiding. Or major ways if they're REALLY good at hiding it. Of course an intolerably annoying Bible thumper can also be appalling in other ways that they manage to hide. There is no shortage of hard-core preachers who turn out to have bizarre, criminal, or just ironic (as in them doing what they've specifically been preaching against) skeletons in their closets.
