Well...Free Will, (aka Freedom) means we don't need any proof!Not believing isn't a decision. I didn't wake up one day and say "I don't feel like believing in god anymore", but rather "I don't believe in god anymore". Sure, I could try to deliberately delude myself, but...
And here's the interesting part: I have free will to believe, you have free will not to believe!

I'm in everything that is alive and GOOD! I'm deep down in the tiny warm spot of your hearts....trying to get you to LOVE ME."

Revelation 22:20
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
