Not at all. Even though you can not completely disprove God's existence, there is an immense amount of evidence against it. It is obvious that humans have created their own religions to form explanations about their existence and the world around them. For instance, the classical Greeks didn't understand what lightning was, so they came up with Zeus to explain it. People didn't want to accept the fact that they would die some day, and instead denied it by coming up with heaven. There is a possibility that one of the religions may have gotten their beliefs right by sheer chance, but as they were invented by humans, it is highly unlikely that this could be so. Two thousand years ago, most everyone believed in the Roman pantheon. Now, the majority are Christians or Muslims. In another two thousand years, most people will probably believe in something else.
The only "evidence" for God's existence is the Bible (at least for your faith). However, people using the Bible as such are quite foolish and don't understand its history. It was written by humans to fit their own beliefs. There may have been people crazy enough to actually believe that they were prophets, but then again, people also used to believe that a priestess sticking her head in a volcanic lava tube and inhaling hallucinogenic fumes came out speaking the word of Apollo. Not only that, but the Bible has been rewritten and revised so many times that its validity is very slight. The major one occurred after the Council of Nicea. Before there was any "official" Scriptures, the Church clubbed together and decided to filter out books that contradicted what they wanted to teach. The highest ranking Church members voted on what they wanted their official doctrines to be. The most important decision was whether they wanted to teach that Jesus was divine and the literal Son of God, or if he was just a very important prophet. It was close, but they decided that Jesus was divine. They then eliminated any book in the Bible that stated different from this. About 40 different Gospels were circulating at the time, but they cut the number down to 27. Any other texts that were found were burned. They also eliminated any Old Testament books that referred to the coming Messiah as a mere human sent by God, and not God himself.The remaining ones underwent serious revision by the Vatican. They had their scholars copy out and translate (poorly) new versions of the Bible. The scribes had to work at such fast paces that these were unavoidable. Some of these mistranslations were so immense that they have completely changed the Christian religion. For instance, the word that was translated as "virgin" that was used to describe Mary would instead be correctly read as meaning "young girl." Nothing in the original Bible claims that Jesus was born of virgin. The entire idea of Immaculate Conception is only inferred from these texts.
On another point, all of the religions claiming they are supporters of peace are hypocritical. Their holy books support violence, slavery, and sexism. They can claim that it is all open to interpretation, but that argument is defeated easily. Their actions all show that they interpret it to mean that they should be violent. Almost every main war that has occurred has in some way been caused, worsened, or supported by religion. An avid Christian once told me that belief in God was far more important than being at peace with others, and that world peace was an illusion created by Satan to turn us from God.
My final argument against religion is the sheer number of people that are "damned" to hell. They all preach that if you do not practice their religion, you will burn in hell or some other kind of awful torment for all of eternity. If this was true, the least number of people possible that would be sent to hell would be over two thirds of the world's population. That is, if Christianity were the one true religion, everyone else would go to hell. If it was Islam or Hinduism, that amount would be even greater. That doesn't sound like God is doing so well with heaven's population.
All evidence points to God not existing.

Is there any evidence of YOUR existence??? God created the universe. What have YOU done?
A neutrino is the smallest known element with nearly zero mass, no charge, and results from a proton in the nucleus being split.
You remind me of a neutrino that just shot out of the nucleus of an atom in someone's shoulder, and during the billionth of a second of it's measly existence, cries out that the person (from whose shoulder you came from) doesn't exist!

If there was evidence, then God's existence would not be faith but just another proven old fact. But the truth is that God does exist, and the kicker is that it cannot be proven now.
Christianity needs to be a daily commitment, not just another religion. Christianity is admitting wrong and confessing to Him, believing in His saving grace. Accept His free gift of grace and be saved.

Yes but the proof of God exsiting arent made up of matter.
They're quite obvious, but you have to be open minded to see them.

None at all. The belief is God is based on wishful assumption, which some people romanticize by calling it faith.
