Evidence that meets the rigorous standards of the scientific method.
And of course theists will insist it's not possible, but if a God can interact with this world, then should be tangible ways of studying it. I don't believe in this crap of "non-overlapping magisteria".
As Rhiz said, a prayer study that demonstrably showed Catholic prayers are answered over any other denomination of Christianity and any other religion, then hey, there's something there.
But as others said, you have the burden of proof. If God came down to me and showed me he was a God and performed miracles right in front of me, I might believe he exists, but if it's the God of Christianity, I most certainly would not worship that god. (Believing and worshiping are two different things.) Lastly, I would know that I could not come onto these forums and expect any one of the atheists here to believe me. Without tangible proof they cannot discern whether it happened, I was delusional, mistaken, or I am lying. Applying Occam's razor means the latter three options are most likely true be true, therefore logically they are correct in rejecting my claim. This is was it means to lack belief.
