You seem pretty much par for the course, I'm afraid.
I do not fervently want you to take my word that God exists.
I would say look no further than Jesus of Nazareth for your evidence. But do not take my word for it. Look into His life, His teachings, His death, His burial, His resurrection. All of which were in accordance with scripture that had been written hundreds of years prior to His birth. Do not take my word please, but inquire honestly and openly into these matters.

That is why according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in 2010 there were 2.18 billion Christians around the world, nearly a third of the global population.
Well I'm sure I'm still on the books as being one of those. I didn't contact the Southern Baptist committee to take me off their roster.
No worries!
Who knows, one day, you may renounce your atheism and come back to the fold as the prodigal son returned to his father after he came to his senses.
