This is called Russell’s Teapot.
A response atheists keep hearing to “prove your god exists” is “prove my god doesn’t exist”. The Teapot is specifically designed to demonstrate that these two propositions are emphatically not different versions of the same thing.
If you’re religious and you don’t understand it, all you can say is: “I don’t understand. Please explain it further.” Hope for the best.
If it’s something you don’t like due to a belief in a religion, all you can say is: “That doesn’t change the way I feel about my faith”. You’re entitled to feel any way you like as long as it doesn’t get in my way.

“Some people think the story of the world has a very specific author, who is very opinionated about everything that is going on, and some people think the author has better things to do than worry about such events, and others think the story of the world has several or even many authors who are all working together or fighting or both. And some people think there is no author, and indeed the miracles of the world can seem even more impressive if you look at a meadow or a baby or some butterscotch syrup and believe that it all came from nothing.”
