There is, however, a reason to believe that God does not exist -> the fact that nothing seems to require God.
If you built a robot, a radio, or just about anything that you could assemble, "it" would not require you around either. It would operate quite well on its own for a time.
Imagine now that you were a Creator like God and, hypothetically, you created(either directly or indirectly) humanity. It is true that at the present time they do not need you. It may well be, however, that they may find a point in the future where they
do need you.

Quantum mechanics are a fact, yes. But jumping to a "mental universe" just because things are not solid as you previously thought... with no other reason to use the term "mental" in any way... with no evidence to suggest any sort of consciousness within the universe apart from known humans and animals... that's silly. And that's what's "not talked about."
But it's not laughed away because it's not desired.
It's ridiculed because there's no evidence pointing towards that conclusion in any way.
This reminds me of a scripture in Hebrews...

Sounds a bit like atoms to me. They are invisible. Just a thought....carry on
