54. It's called "faith". That's why it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
If belief in God were scientifically or rationally provable or disprovable we would all believe or be atheists, in their respective cases. Since it's not people have differing opinions on the matter. Neither approach is wrong or right, it's how the opinion is viewed that makes the difference. If believers weren't always trying to convert non-believers and vice versa a common respect could be held between the two positions. I certainly don't think God is for everyone, it just works for me. Atheism may just work for you. No harm done.
