Exactly this Atheists do asking Theists for proof
You took a nuanced answer as a 'no'. Got it.
I'm a simple bloke, I prefer simple single layered answers.

Explain to me how you feel Gods presence and I might agree otherwise it seems to me you're comparing apples to oranges
...You're Mother Nature, the sun, the water and the dirt,
My enemy, my best friend, what hits me at my core,
Most of all you're my teacher, to be a better soul
Fallin' down, getting up, so every moment I can grow
You are in me, God, you are the deepest root,
From darkness to light, you are my Inner Truth
To simplify my answer:
I explained how I feel God's presence. To simplify it, I experience God's presence within me as Truth and I find God's presence in the world around me.
As the song put it:
That applies to some memories but not all of them. Maybe only some of your memories, the ones you can use to make novel predictions, are real and some of the rest are false memories since no proof one way or the other is possible. False memories are well known.
I am not at all confused. For me, Science, Philosophy and Religion are exactly the same.
God? What God? I am a strong atheist, denying even the possibility of existence of any God or Goddess... god's design ..?
In every case, if science and religion contradict each other, ..

No, science and religion do not contradict each other in my case. One is the other in my belief.
No, definitely notSo we should accept whatever we are told?
Both of us are atheists. I do not think our definitions of science and religion will differ. I think, you have not explored Eastern religions. All three, Hinduism, Budhism and Jainism, have atheism as their part..Fair enough. I think we just have very different definitions for science and religion, then.
That's precisely what I do also.because I can use them to make accurate novel predictions that I can then test in reality.
"If invisible magical turtles exist who cause trees to grow
In my experience, religious claims can only be supported by this kind of post hoc rationalization. "The universe exists, and this is evidence for a being that can create universes."
I have never seen any theist use their theological model of reality to make an accurate novel testable prediction that was then tested and confirmed.
Many say God isn't real and cite lack of evidence to support their statement.
So tell me...Are your memories real? Can you provide evidence of your memories?
How are your memories any more real than God?
