Question for atheists...

[CapnAwesome]

From your point of view, what would be good reasons for believing in God?

I have a rather low burden of proof for God compared to some Atheists on these boards. All I would need is for God to appear. I believe in Squirrels, and low and behold, there they are. I don't believe in Ghosts, what do you know, because there is no good way of measuring them. I believe in the wind, I can measure it. If God appeared, spoke to me and others independently confirmed those instances to be real, that would be good enough for me. I think it's actually a relatively low standard of proof, more or less what I accept for animals or similar things.

You can believe in God and think for yourself.

Yes, they are called Deists. You can believe in God and think for yourself but you can't belong to a religion and think for yourself. By defintion you are adopting the ideas of others.
