Don't you think if they ever had enough brains to wrap around concept and implications of "There is no evidence", they would have stopped being theists by this point in the 21st century?
Come on, we both know evolution doesn't work that way. A theist doesn't become an atheist just like that. There have to be intermediary stages. First they would begin to show signs of uncertainty. Then they might try other alternative explanations before finally they threw their arms in the air and admitted they just don't know, thus becoming agnostic. At that point, they would either say "screw it" I'm channeling God somehow or other, I'm sticking to belief. Or else they'd try to keep channeling God but the channel would go dead and they'd be on their own. Eventually they might decide they'd been mistaken. But that is how evolution works, many small steps.
