I'm an atheist, but that's not because it's my "religion" that I blindly cling to (as many theists try to argue), but because there's no logical reason to believe in god that I've yet seen. If somebody suddenly presents me with a reason to believe in god, something that isn't logically fallable, then I'll gladly become a believer.... not to mention let out a sigh of relief that I'm not going to blink out of existence one day.
I'm not sure what you meant there about nobody has a debate to convince their opponent? Which side are you referring. I've seen plenty of good logical debate against the exsistance of God, but religious people are incapable of listening to it. If you think about it there are logically reasons to belief in God. Economical, cultural reasons; and many other thing's. Logic to someone who dosen't share your belief, whatever that may be, would be alien to you and vise versa. Its not about whether God is factual or that it can be proven. Its whether having faith in God has a purpose either way.
