I’ve met a few gnostic atheists. They can be weird. Their non-believing can look very much like theism.
I once met an actual gnostic atheist missionary. He was standing on a Tesco parking lot with a self-made mobile display handing out hand-drawn leaflets about atheism. He was literally preaching on the street corner. Looked like one of them jehovas whitnesses until you got up close.
In the end, humans choose evil. Most people don’t want to be a robot. So there is free will, free to choose. But when they could use free-will to do good they choose and do evil.

If Christ returned, I’d be an instant convert

Sounds like agnosticism to me 🤝🤝
But would you mind if it turned out to be a immensely powerful alien disguised as a guy from our own past ?
At least, that seems more likely to me…

I really really do not want to be an atheist. But where is God?

As long as he’s capable of saving my soul…
As long as I have a soul…
After all, science distinguishable from magic is merely insufficiently advanced

If Batman appeared I would also immediately start believing in him.
That doesn’t make me Batman-agnostic though.

I'd personally want to kill them for creating such evil and suffering in the world.

Babies get cancer. That’s not humans choosing evil. If there is a god that created a baby just to get cancer and die before age 3, that god is evil.
