The Jewish perspective about God’s existence being unprovable is that people would lose their free will if they knew for absolute certain that God is watching all of us and can wreak havoc on us after death with divine punishment.  So people choose right from wrong without being able to prove that this is the case. The most moral person I’ve ever known in my life is an atheist (Italian, not Jewish) who rejected Catholism at the age of 12. He is 100% atheist, but he defends Christians and Jews with everything he’s got because he believes in their right to believe without being hassled for it. I think he defends all religions for this reason. I too would march shoulder to shoulder with those who wish for the freedom to believe in whatever they want (and the ability to express those beliefs, if without hatred and violence). But, at the end of the march if I think those ideas are stupid or delusional, then I would expect the same freedom to tell them.
