The "proof" of God is everywhere all at once. God is the one who created reality.
Sure, but someone can just as easily say there is no proof at all. These are just words. I don't find them particularly convincing.
What I do find troublesome is that most things in my life (eg relationships, laptops, potted plants, cooking, Bitcoin, etc) do not require a leap of faith. Why should it be that this one realm, spirituality, requires that I trust it is there rather than experience the actual mechanics of it?
I can open the back of my laptop and pull out the hard drive and of won't work. I can bake a cake with too much salt and it tastes bad. I can pull up a plant and look at the roots. But in faith I must always believe.

We are talking about the definition of God a priori.
My definition here is the “prime-mover” the One who created reality. So the “proof” is everywhere because your laptop hard drive wouldn’t exist without God.
I assert that without a definition of the reason or prime mover of reality- there is no point to the truth pursued by every seeker from Plato to ourselves today. (Relativist, Marxist etc)
I see the “proof” of God everywhere, and the teachings of Jesus Christ help me to find peace and structure in my own practical day to day reality.
Why should it be that this one realm, spirituality, requires that I trust it is there rather than experience the actual mechanics of it?
In my understanding, “spirituality” is a term for every day practical reality which in modern times is referred to as our subconscious, willpower, emotions, and psychology.
Do these things require faith?
I think if you re-read the Words of Christ in gospels, you will see that he spends very little time “convincing” people to “believe in spirituality” -he says to have faith in HIM and his path for us to navigate and exist with purpose in reality.
Will you teach your children to be relativist agnostic Marxists?
You can debate about (Hinduism, Islam, Shinto, etc) all you want and test them against the message of Jesus Christ if you are questioning what the best way to know God is.
But saying you don't believe in God is nonsense and the same as saying you don't believe in the weather. God is "the thing" that comes before and after.
The "proof" of God is everywhere all at once. God is the one who created reality.
If you "don't believe" in God, what happened before the Big Bang? That is what God is.
God = Creator
Jesus Christ = Son of God, Truth
How do we know who/what is God? What did God intend for us? Why was reality created in the first place? What are we supposed to do?
Jesus Christ taught morality and much more:
"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. "
"Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s."
"Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
