Fortunately, there are two other routes by which one can come to knowledge of God: reasoning from common experience (think Aquinas) and personal revelation (gnosis).
If there's a God; he, she, or it is welcome to revelate me. Welcome to compel my belief. And I set my bar for evidence pretty low: the right words from the right person would suffice to get me back in church, trying to believe.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
