Why is it, that proof of ones belief is even considered to be necessary?

God exists and loves you no matter if there are 100 billions believing that or no one. However, when someone with insight and dedication starts with atheistic beliefs and for intellectual reasons alone understands his error, then it is remarkable and might be informative to others, who struggle with the same error.

“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”
..........[Stephen Roberts]


Because either position is ultimately BELIEF. Belief may operate in the total absence of proof.
