It is because we have defined God to be the God they talk about in Christianity.
No one cares if you have some personal special meaning of the unknown which you call god. That isnâ??t what we are talking about! WE are talking about Christianity and their god. That is why we can bash Christianity and it had an effect on the concept of god!

On to your next bit. "There has never been any evidence that god was real except from individuals saying so." ... Are you suggesting that there IS evidence saying God DOES NOT exist? You contradict yourself. You ask people not to use the argument "you can't prove he doesn't exist" but you use the exact inverse of that yourself..
This last bit is of serious importance. Which it seems very few religious people can grasp.

The only claim an atheist is making is something like:
â??the world is how we see itâ? -this argument has lots of evidence
An atheist isnâ??t saying:
â??god doesnâ??t existâ?
Because thatâ??s obvious as we donâ??t observe it. If you think thatâ??s what an atheist believes then we have a whole bunch of other beliefs too
â??teacups donâ??t orbit the sunâ?
â??jellyfish donâ??t surf around the galaxyâ?

-Believing in god is a believe. It is a statement about the nature of reality.
Atheists dont possess this belief.
Lacking a belief doesnâ??t need an argument.
Having a belief needs an argument!

So Iâ??m living my life and someone comes over and says â??god existsâ?
I go, â??why do you think thatâ?

This person is asking me to accept a new belief. To accept a belief one needs justification.

We donâ??t need a reason Not to change our mind. We need reason to change it!
Everyone starts off as an atheist
