Faith in something with no physically measurable attributes isn't empirical, and as such it isn't something that can be proven or disproven.
Rather, we should be asking: Why do you believe in something that by definition can't be shown to exist?
Do you still believe in Santa Claus? Why not?
The trouble here is dealing with people who reject any claim without evidence, other than the strongly held belief they've been either indoctrinated or brainwashed into believing.
These are people who can't bear having to make their own decisions, and take responsibility for their own actions and morality, without a surrogate father-figure.
