The religious person could do this as well, but I view that as fallacious reasoning. It’s another atheist delusion that theists point to no evidence for God, but if we are both just assuming our view is true, and it’s up to the other to show it as false, then we are not going to get very far.
You are correct. Theists claim to have evidence. Unfortunately, they don't. Real evidence, the kind that influences the minds of everyone, would be the kind of evidence that did not have to be downgraded to "personal" because of the fact that it is not evidence at all.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of god. That is truth, that is reality.
If I wanted to believe in something based merely on the "personal" desire for it to be real over the truth of reality, then I would be a theist who has deluded himself for mere comfort.
I don’t claim it’s true, because of a personal desire. And to say that theist don’t provide any evidence or reason is a delusion and irrational. You can argue against those reasons and give your reason why you think they are insufficient. But to pretend they don’t exist is delusional thinking.
