The reasoning doesn't take a leap of faith, the person does.
You will never ever ever get ANY evidence of ANY form that he exists, because as we have established, that would require us to be gods too. The point of faith is to believe in something we cannot have evidence for. You say you can't have belief until you have evidence. So... you're saying that until you are a god yourself, you won't believe in God.
But that makes no sense. How can you believe in something that not only is there no evidence for but also can never obtain that evidence.
And how can you know what God is if you have nothing to go on? This sounds like pure fantasy.
On that basis you could believe in anything.
