Which is precisely why atheists, if they're doing the job properly, don't ask for evidence that "God" doesn't exist. If that really is what you're looking for, you're going about it the wrong way. No wonder you're bound to your religion.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
