I don't understand, what's the difference between "a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension" and something that doesn't exist? How can you tell one from the other?
Our identity has no tangible form. Even if souls don't exist, what is being made by the mind and the concept of self has no tangible physical form. What we perceive of it and our experience of it is something else entirely even if it is created by a physical components and the brain. God is like an identity except he isn't created by physical components. Just like you can detect your identity, believers believe God can be detected spiritually.
