Atheists might say that they would be more inclined to believe in a God if there were clear, tangible evidence of such a being’s existence—like a personal experience that cannot be easily explained away, or scientific evidence that supports the claims made by theistic traditions. They might also consider a well-reasoned philosophical argument that conclusively addresses the existence of God.
On the other hand, theists might cite the discovery of definitive evidence that contradicts their beliefs—such as a universal explanation for existence that does not involve a deity, or experiences that strongly suggest the nonexistence of a higher power. Additionally, they might find it challenging to continue believing if they encounter profound suffering that seems incompatible with a benevolent God.
Ultimately, these personal thresholds for belief or disbelief often hinge on experience, evidence, and philosophical reasoning.
