Lack of evidence isn’t evidence of lack. In other words, just because you have no proof of the existence of the Great Grizzabonnet1, that does not mean there is no Great Grizzabonnet. Not being able to prove that something is does not mean that it isn’t. Only the proof of non-existence proves that something doesn’t exist. Until you can see and can confirm that proof, keep your options open.

Let’s pretend that God doesn’t exist (we have no proof that He/She/It does or does not). Now, let’s examine what the belief in God or a higher power can do for you, and compare that to what non-belief can do for someone who does not believe in a power greater than themselves. How do you turn to non-belief for support, comfort, or solace? You don’t. I guess you just soldier on.

If you have faith in a power greater than yourself, you are supported and comforted twenty-four seven, secure in the knowledge that you have tapped into the universal source of that power. Now remember, for the sake of this discussion, we are pretending that God doesn’t exist. But does God’s actual existence, or lack thereof, change the differences between the believers and the non-believers? True warriors know that whether God exists or not is completely irrelevant, because they know that belief and faith make the difference between success and failure—and that is the only knowledge that is relevant.

You are warriors. Take advantage of all the tools that are available to you and you will succeed beyond your wildest imaginings. Belief and faith in something greater than yourself will make all the difference. So it has been written.
