Eyewitness accounts are generally unreliable, and "I read it in a book that's the 13th translation of the original - which may be fact or fiction" makes an eyewitness account look like positive proof.
Not seeing any evidence of any gods, nor any need for one to explain anything, is sufficient reason to not accept claims of one. But telling a theist that there's no actual evidence of any god is just opening yourself up to a barrage of nonsense.
