Not all evidence is testable... must I point out scientific beliefs you hold that are in no way testable? So you can sit down.
If the god you believe in, interacts with the natural world (performing miracles, healing people, etc) then in fact, there is something to test.
Most of the Christians I know, claim to have a 'personal relationship with God/Jesus'. They are claiming to be "God detectors". That is a testable claim.
If they claim that god heals people, that is also a testable claim.
I'm not sure that's true.
All you could test for was a known naturalistic cause. Absent that, most atheists will just claim miracles have unknown naturalistic causes.
Most atheists deny the personal experiences of Christians as some sort of delusion/misrepresentation/misunderstanding/confusion. There is nothing to 'test' because the other side of the equation is supernatural and as a result, cannot be detected in a lab.
