I don't have total and unequivoval proof that unicorns don't exist either, but that doesn't mean I believe in them.

In all other non-faith areas of life it is generally accepted that that we assume things do not exist unless there is evidence that they do. Even theists subscribe to this rule most of the time - they tend not to believe in the Easter Bunny, Russell Bertram's teapot or the man in the moon even though they can't conclusively prove that they don't exist. So why is it that God should be exempt from the same degree of critical thought they already apply to every thing else?
