"God exists!  Evidence for his existence is everywhere!  You just need to know how to see it!  And even atheists know this!  They're just trying to deceive themselves and you for ill-defined, but assuredly evil, reasons!"
"Um... I've looked.  I've listened.  I tried praying.  But, I don't really see any evidence for god.  Not just your god, but any god."
"You're not doing it right.  You didn't do it honestly.  Try again, with an open mind this time."
"Wait, what?  Why are you claiming I wasn't honest in my search for god?"
"Because you didn't find him.  And by 'him', I mean my god, specifically.  Not those false gods."
"Whoa, wait, wait wait.... If I find your god, that means I was honest in trying to find him, it, whatever.  But if I don't, despite years of seeking and asking, I'm not being honest in my search?  Even if that search leads me to a different god?"
"That's right."
"..."
"So, as you can see, you're obviously doing it wrong.  You're doing it dishonestly.  Try again.  Try harder."

It would be laughable if it wasn't such an embarrassing way to think.
It is true that the conclusions we draw are filtered through our worldview.  That being said, if our worldview is flawed or even self-refuting, we wouldn't be able to trust any conclusions that we make.    

Well, since belief in the Christian god is flawed, for a multitude of reasons....
