If I were that interested in proving you wrong Nick, I would give you a little list of the pros and cons of religion. For every David Koresch, there are a hundred Mother Theresas, how do you think the math works out on that?

This is a fallacy of the first order. This is where almost every god believer fails in the intellectual world. While it is true that most god believers are incorrigible in their beliefs, most atheists/agnostics would easily be converted to god belief by reasonable (ie rational) evidence.
I have met a few GB's who freely admit that no amount of evidence would ever convince them of fallacy of their faith and I commend them on their honesty (although I don't understand how they can live with the cognitive dissonance). However, most maintain the delusion without introspective acknowledgment.
