Actually.. "We" do. and as such God is responsible for proof. Which He has made attainable for all of those who would humble themselves not before any of us, but before Him (quietly secretly)

Or I'm not and what I have said is true.
I know for those like you who think yourself better than everyone else it is far easier to simply dismiss everyone who believes in God as a liar, but truthfully history does not bear out worship to nothingness... No religion lasts a generation maybe two beyond the society that supported it. Meaning people are not stupid and once they find out there is absllutly nothing behind a God they move on.
So either the vast majority of the world is beyond deluded or there is indeed something people witness that aligns them with their deity.
Which means people like you are simply missing out on something.
Just proving my point. We don't make god out as a liar, we make YOU out as a liar, or, at the very least, a gullible person with an ego complex that can't allow themselves to be wrong once they've decided to believe something.
And now it's "a generation maybe two". Were those goalposts heavy?
Yes, the vast majority of the world IS deluded. The combination of power hungry leaders, indoctrination and emotional neediness is prime fertilizer for religion. Reason and logic have taken a back seat to these things.
