Don't presume too much, I don't claim to be an atheist and my rejection of Christianity isn't necessarily a rejection of all forms of god. And my rejection of most forms of a god isn't based in simple evidence.
Give me an example of the kind of evidence you are talking about, one that would be under a different sent of ideological circumstances.

I didn't presume you were an atheist, but was just using you as a general example.
The evidence as to whether or not there is a flat-earth is frankly irrelevant to any perspective other than a technological one. To extend this to spiritual or political beliefs is a mistake that many atheists or agnostics make.
The idea that evidence and only 100% material evidence can constitute any worldview is a complete falsehood and is exactly what I mean when I say most atheists or even skeptics buy their atheism/sketicism on the cheap.
Let's begin my explanation with a question, "Do you believe in moral progress?"
