I haven't discounted anything you've said directly so far and due to the subjectiveness of experience I'm willing to grant great leway. But, how exactly do you have an experience of not having an experience? If we're not rationalizing beliefs, then I'll assume here that experience preceeds analysis. If you never experienced anything and conclude that the default position is "no God exists" because no explination has arrisen; that's one thing and perfectly fine. If you're saying you've actually experienced something that disproves God, that's something entirely different. If you've had any experience with god at all doesn't that lend more credibility towards the existence of God then? Wouldn't the rest then be rationalization to deny that evidence. Those are supposition to your thought process, but I'm just answering your questions and trying to figure out where your questions are going.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
