You're just denying the ways that you can test for god, though. They're pretty similar, once you can pull yourself into some semblance of objectivity over religion.

I've never been to a sunday sermon (I go to church weekly) that didn't try to reaffirm that god existed. However, I can't remember a meeting with other athiests where we tried to reaffirm the opposite. It could definitely be considered "preaching to the choir", but unlike in Church, bringing up the "God isn't real guise" topic is going to earn you a bunch of eyeball rolls. The difference is we don't care about the topic that's supposedly keeing us organized, outside of the "I really don't want to talk to crispies" thing we all sorta have going for us.

What is one way to test for god that results in evidence?

Just one?

One easy way would be to use prayer in a double-blind test. You could measure the effect of God's answers to prayer on day-to-day events. Get some really devout religious zealots, so you can get past the "you didn't pray hard enough" excuse.
