Why Religious Proof Or Disproof Is Unimportant

A sufficiently subtle deity isn't going to provide direct evidence of its existence. Logical constructs (for and against) seem to always start with or to contain premises which are arguable enough to render the entire construct suspect, if not invalid.
Indeed. Moreover, the type of deity which is worshiped in church on a sunday is not this type of subtle, non-interventionist god, often the only type of god which can be supported by 'philosophical' arguments. That doesn't stop theists from claiming that these 'proofs' demonstrate the existence of their interested-in-you-personally, interfering, all-everything god.
