People change their mind. Atheism is usually a position one is convinced they have no good reason to believe in God.
That stance may change, if you look for proofs on earth, and seek to increase your knowledge. You never know.
Have hope and act on it. I don't think most religious believe a person who strives to know God and dies ignorant of Him will be punished.
And to be apathetic to the question is irrational since by definition he is the Highest Being and is Worth knowing and getting to know.
And in all this - I would not wait for a Theist like me to prove God. I may have bad way of presenting proofs and don't articulate what I know well.
Look for those who if God would exist, are the best possible way to know Him, and would be his representatives.
If you don't give God a chance to prove himself nor his representatives, and wait for Theists, you might be waiting your whole life and be never satisfied.
And there is always a guide be it hidden or not per my creed, and if you ask God humbly, perhaps he will get him to come to you and show you miracles as in the type Moses and Jesus are reported to have done!
That would be an easy way out but there is too much harm if you are averse to the truth, it may lead you to opposition to the Guide and joining the dark forces, if he shows you miracles and you then move the goal posts and accuse him of being a sorcerer.
So humble your heart, and ask God to guide you to that path and name he has named himself with and the path that is his path, and the guide that is given his authority, and perhaps, through the Guide of age, he will show you miracles, and you won't even need to think of rational proofs, though I am sure after, you would be come acquainted with those and they would be proof among many proofs you have!
You never know - just try it!
