The nut is this. Can I prove their is no God? No, and it isn't really falsifiable. God doesn't work like hydrogen - God is claimed to be everywhere but not subject to objective measure. Can I prove there are no purple wombats. Not directly, but it is falsifiable because finding a single purple wombat will invalidate the hypothesis of "no purple wombat". Therefore it is a scientific proposition, though weakly supported by data and people asserting it. Remember Sagan? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof". A single God presenting themselves and allowing subjective analysis in a scientific way would invalidate the No God hypothesis. He won't play the game of the scientist so he is considered not part of the game at this time. He can fix that. He needs to make a scientifically testable appearance.
