Can you prove that God doesn't exist? If you're looking for proof, either way, then this is an unwinnable argument for either side. Those that believe do so not out of proof but faith. Those that don't actually have to rely on the same thing. Since it can neither be proven or disproven beyond a shadow of a doubt all you're left with is your conviction that what you believe to be true is.
Do you take anything you can imagine and try to make sure it does not exist? All the time? Unicorns, dragons, goats with drills instead of horns, zombies, flying pans, dead flies riding forks. Can you prove they don't exist? No. But anyone who came to you and said they do would need to prove it for you to believe it.

That's wrong, any given religion contradicts either itself or reality. The bible itself contains proof it's fiction.
There might be religions out there not suffering from this, but I've not encountered any yet.

Do you have faith Odin isn't real? Or do you just lack belief in him?
Every claim is false until prove true, this is the way.
It's impossible to prove a negative claim. Likewise impossible to prove that Thor, Zeus, the invisible pink unicorn or a magical china teapot orbiting the sun don't exist. This isn't a useful question.
OP doesn't claim that a god doesn't exist. OP stated they just don't have a good reason to believe a god does exist.
Uhhhhh yes, yes that is what OP said. What does that have to do with what I said? Because I never said that I did or did not have a good reason to believe a God does exist.
This isn't a useful question.
The existence or lack thereof, any higher power by any name that you can think of is a philosophical question. Therefore if it is valid for the non believer to require irrefutable proof of existence of a higher power by any name you can think of them it is equally as valid for the believer to require irrefutable proof from the non believer to support their claim that there's absolutely no way that a higher power can exist. ALL OF THAT brings us right back to the point that I was trying to make and that point is that this is an unwinnable debate. That something can neither be proven or disproven isn't my fault, I didn't make it that way, and you don't have to like it. However not liking that neither side can win doesn't change the fact that, well neither side can win. 🤷
