Innocent until proven guilty, after all.
The same logic works for god. He does not exist until he can be proven to exist. Thousands of years of human civilization, and still there is no proof of god's existence.
Bad example. No defense lawyer worth his salt would pass up an opportunity to prove his client's innocence. While he doesn't have to, in a typical case, the defendant doesn't simply poke holes in the prosecution's theory and evidence, he presents witnesses and evidence of his own to show why his client is innocent.
The same logic applies to god as well. Just because one doesn't have to is no reason why one shouldn't try to.
