And until there actually IS some evidence for god - or any other character from fantasy - they will remain only a source of intellectual amusement of no real consequence in my life.

Well true, unless the religionists take over and start imposing their peculiar beliefs on you.

You must wear a burka, because god says so. (Middle East)
You can’t have an abortion, because god says so. (Red states)
You can’t be gay, because god says so. (All of Africa)
You can’t be an atheist, because god says so. (Middle East, again.)
You must go to church on Sundays. (Colonial America)
You must give us 10% of your income. (Mormons and Salvationists)
You cannot eat pork, because god says so. (Israel)
You can’t sell alcohol on Sundays, because god says so. Many US states, still)
You can’t have a divorce because god says so. (Most religions before 1900)

…and so on. It’s easy to ignore it until they put it in your face, and by then it’s too late.
