However there is evidence for Jesus as the Gospels are a collection of testimonies from Jesus' time.I don't quite follow; the Old Testament exists, god as a fictional character, concept, or mental construct exists. No one is disputing that.

I believe in the NT God because to me, the Gospels depict a true story, and the fact that the Church has existed for 2000 years, being the longest existing organization in the world, is to me a testimony of that.The burden of proof here is not on atheists. Prove what the New Testament claims about an infinite cosmic-creator deity is actually demonstrably real first.
You can disprove some of the facts written in the Old Testament. However there is no disproval of what is written in the New Testament. I know it is physically highly unlikely, but it has not be proven to be impossible.
And before you talk about unicorns and fairies, there is no "evidence" for them as there is for Jesus in the form of the Gospels.
