Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?

No non-theist that I am aware of makes use of the reasons you mention when debating the existence of God in a formal, academic setting i.e. a university.

That's probably because I'm not arguing that God doesn't exist. I have every reason to believe He exists in your subjective experience and that of many others who make the same claim. I certainly have no evidence to say any of you are wrong. However, my best attempt at understanding this phenomenon is that the God you experience is not what you think it is. What I feel a great deal more certain of is that the bible is altogether irrelevant to the question of God's existence.
