Me I look from every perspective contrary to mine, whether atheist, agnostic, muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Evolutionist or another Christian Denomination.
I don't have to prove God doesn't exist, neither I can, whatever evidence I cite, you won't believe it
what I can do is to ask you what evidence do you have proving the existence of God
there are hundreds, if not thousands of religions, they all claim different things and they all have nothing to base their claims on
on the other side, there is only one science which has been pretty successful so far, explaining the surrounding world by the method of methodological naturalism, without having to invent gods
How do you know your religion doesn't lie?
What makes you think God exists?
You can't give adequateanswers to these questions
I can tell you though why you believe in God:
1. you were rasied in an environment that favored religion; probably yuor parents took you to church, gave you the Bibel to read or something like this when you were too little to be able to distinguish between truth and false; basically you believe in God because your parents did, they believe in God because their parents did and so on and so on;
Nobody told me that God exists but nobody told me the opposite either
I don't believe in God because I don't need him to explain the world around me
Which brings the question why religion was first invented and the answer is because people 10,000 years ago didn't have the information we have so they had to bring the supernatural to explain natural phenomena; later it turned out that religion can be very successfuly used to keep the masses in subjection
Why do you think so many countries adopted Christianity in the middle ages? It wasn't because it taught you such beautiful things, it was because it taught you to be quiet and not to rebel
