So you are Atheist rather than Agnostic? So you have proof there is no God? Isn't the point that even though you don't believe theres a good reason to look into it?
You got your definitions of Atheism and Agnosticism mixed up. Atheism deals with the non belief in gods, Agnosticism deals with the knowledge of gods. One can be an agnostic atheist, meaning I have no belief in gods, and do not know for sure gods exist or not.

So far I have not seen any evidence for any god, and I don't really see much point in looking for evidence for each and every one of the 1000's of gods on this Earth.
Except the fsm of course (blessed be his noodly appendages).
Im not in the same position as you though. Im assuming you have a lack of reason for God
What is a lack of reason for God?

Be open to God, could you be any more vague?
