Actually, when a hypothesis implies there will be evidence, lack of evidence is evidence. So, if I theorize gravity, lack of evidence that things fall would be evidence that gravity does not exist.
The god hypothesis when applied to any religion implies there should be evidence. As there isn't evidence, lack is proof that that a particular god exists is proof he doesn't.
God hypothesis that don't imply there will be evidence are irrelevant by definition.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
