So I believe that I don't believe? That's retarded.

Since god chooses to hide, why should any evidence suggest god and not something else?

If you are an atheist because you see no reasons to think otherwise what happens when you loose a debate against someone who has stronger reasoning for an argument than you? Do you instantly switch sides? Or stubbornly continue in your belief?
There is no cognitive dissonance. Theists only "win" when the throw bullshit at you usually in the form of red herrings, strawmen, and bogus science.
