Most atheists have a "i need to see it before I believe it" attitude, but some things need to be believed before they can be seen.
God already made the perfect man and his name was Abraham. The whole concept of Jesus creates soany contradictions to the original faith and is the reason so many atheists have a foundation to criticize Christianity which is supposed to be the flagship representative for all people of faith or spirituality, which it absolutely isn't.
Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal.

You dont believe in Jesus but you believe in Abraham? Why one and not the other?
I think believing in something so you can see it sounds like the definition of self delusion. Sometimes you can only find something if you look for it, but seeing because you believe is different. Too many religious people believe in very different Gods, and they all think they are right. To make sure we dont fool ourselves, we have to make sure our judgement isnt swayed by what we want to believe. Thats why evidence is so important.
This is just my personal view.
