I said that because no evidence exists to disprove the existence of God, a lot of believers will have a hard time changing their viewpoint.
Which, of course, is silly. You can't "disprove" the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn either, but nobody would seriously suggest that anyone should treat them as deities that actually exist. Once again, stating that religious beliefs are valid because God cannot be disproved is a fallacious argument.

Faith is the ONLY thing that has EVER existed in regards to a belief in God.
You've never heard of St. Thomas Aquinas's "proofs" for the existence of God? Are you not familiar with the ontological argument for the existence of God?

Those are just two examples among many more. For centuries philosophers and theologians have been attempting to demonstrate God's existence through arguments that go beyond just faith. Clearly you are ignorant on this subject; here is a good starting point to better educate yourself on this.
