1: There are a lot of old temples that were dedicated to him. Why would people worship him if he doesn't exist?
2: There are three surviving hymns to him, one by Homer and the other two known as the Delphic hymns. Why would anyone write hymns to him if he doesn't exist?
3: There are stories about him. Why would there be stories about a god who doesn't exist?
4: A quick look round the internet shows that some people still worship him and pray to him. Why would 21st century people worship a god who doesn't exist?
I don't believe in the God of the Bible because he's never appeared to me in a dream. If he ever does I'll have to accept that he exists as well. After all, there are cathedrals/churches dedicated to his worship, people sing hymns to him and pray to him and there are a lot of stories about him.
I now renounce my ways as an atheist and will worship Apollo! You have proven without a doubt he exists, I have no choice
