Just because we require reasons to believe your god nonsense doesn't mean we reject everything that lacks evidence. No one can do that. You seem to think unless we accept the god proposition without evidence we are required to reject all propositions which lack evidence.

But why should I violate my repulsion toward harming others? It exists because I myself experience it. It is as real as "I" am. Your god may seem to you as real as you are, but that isn't giving me any reason to sign on. Your inability to imagine normal human consciousness sans god is your own failing. We can't explain it to you so long as you are motivated to persist in your stupidity bias.
