Exactly.
That's exactly what drives me nuts about being "openly" atheist. Everyone assumes I say god doesn't exist 100%. No I just want you to define your god then prove to me he exists. If you can do that using evidence I'll be a believer. I haven't seen anyone even come close so far.
Actually i did that right here hahaha of course with lots of trickery that is.
I (think)proved the existence of a non-religious god by correlating this god to aliens(hence confirming their existence or the high probability of their existence) and their ability to perform supernatural phenomenon using extreme intelligence and thereby satisfying the definition of a (non-religious)god that is - "A supreme/superior being,capable of performing supernatural feats".
Maybe if i changed the definition to "A supreme/superior being of foreign orgin,capable of performing supernatural feats." i'd have a more stern position(or i could argue that nobody on earth would fit this description because of the unachievable qualities defined in the definition and hence they are of foreign orgin - no other way)but then everyone would say that i "changed" the definition of god to fit into my argument.
Bleh(the truth is),it doesn't even have a definition to begin with bruh so make up your own and convince others its the right one.
If you want a definition for religious gods i think i have one: "A supreme/superior being of foreign or domestic orgin,capable of performing supernatural feats."
I came up with this definition by generally simple observation of religious gods and i have data to support my observation.
(The domestic part because there are a shit load of religions that one of them probably have a dude that happened to be on earth and they consider(ed) him a god - ah religion you ruthless butcher

@Mr.Wizard, Only no one is saying that a god is a tree(not talking literally,i'm talking in bounds of your analogy)they are saying that there is a god only they don't even know what god is.
