The tooth fairy is one being among many. Deny her and you still have logic, induction, and the moral weight behind “more accurate worldview.” God is different in kind. He is the precondition for those tools. Not that atheists think about God all day. That no one can think about anything without standing on furniture He built.
The energy tracks Him because He presses on the conscience in a way Zeus never did. That is worth sitting with.
Now the harder part. What was done to you was sin. A young man losing his home for leaving a church is not Christ. That is professing Christians failing the gospel they claim to preach. The father in Luke 15 ran to the prodigal. He did not bar the door. The men who hurt you do not get to define who Christ is. He defined Himself at Calvary. The door home is open.

You can't simply declare I stand on gods furniture without proving god exists.
This is the demon haunted world, a whole collection of invisible untested assumptions about the nature of being. By having them you create a barrier to questioning and learning about the world around you.
