I don't consider anything petty about this discussion, and nobody is saying there are no non-religious degenerates.
My stance is that spiritual and divine faith is an ideology borne from darker, more ignorant times when science was undeveloped and humans more easily led through through fear and tyranny.
Torture and capital punishment, female circumcision with razor blades, human sacrifices, personality-draining hiveminded gatherings, abstinence from the finer things in life, enforced guilt over natural behaviour and acts, obsessive compulsive behaviour upon fear of dire consequences, neglect of everyday life in favour of pandering to imaginary things, mutated interpretations convincing sadists and perverts to break the law... all carried out in the name of religion and 'beliefs'.
It ain't healthy, brothers and sisters.
Why do I need evidence to prove there is not a God? You need evidence to prove it - unless you consider yourself outside of the logical mindset of scientific laws and exist primarily within your own belief system. Supergood if you do, but contrary to your statement we can prove our theories of evolution with rock hard evidence, so that is most Christians hung out to dry (until of course they start moving the goalposts to accomodate irrefutable scientific discoveries and start talking about different interpretations of The Bible etc etc yawn).
When you die, you die - once you accept it you can undoubtedly make more of your life. And if your alternative beliefs are as sure and strong as many claim they are, you'll have no problem with a young internet whippersnapper like me trying to tell you otherwise - it's just another point of view.
Peace
