Boom. You just became a materialist, by excluding that one phrase which you admit you have no evidence for. The evidence that the universe is material is all around you. You want materialism to mean something special, an all consuming statement that only the material exists. We don't need that to show that we have evidence of the existence of the material, and none for the existence of God. The evidence for the existence of the material is a billion-fold stronger than the evidence for God. Do we have evidence that this is all there is? No. But then nobody is claiming that. It's a straw man which you've dishonestly erected to create some sort of equality between your position and that of atheists who don't believe your claims. Your position and that of your straw man may be in some sense similar, but since it is a straw man of the atheist position, that counts for nothing, and your entire argument is a fallacy.
You keep misrepresenting what atheists claim because without lying about that, you've got nothing. Your whole position and belief rest on your lying about this. Go on, run to your stick figure god and have him forgive you for telling more lies. The rest of us will simply despise you for being corrupt and unethical and a liar.
