That's not a ridiculous question. We know some dinosaurs had feathers (which are nothing but modified scales). And we think that modern birds are related to dinosaurs, so it is not unreasonable to assume some or even all dinosaurs had feathers.

But until we find a fossil T. Rex that shows evidence of feathers, we'll never know for sure. In fact, we have no way of knowing. That's the key, we have no way of knowing. We can come up with informed guesswork; we can say that their bone structure and muscle attachments show they were active creatures, which suggests they were warm-blooded, which argues they must have carried some form of insulation to help regulate their body temperature. And if we can make some educated guesses about the climate in T.Rex's time, we can even say he might have needed feathers, or fur, or something like that. But we simply don't have enough information to say for sure.

Questions about god are the same kind of question. Even an atheist cannot "proclaim" there is no god, he doesn't know either, but the opposite certainly cannot be proclaimed. And if we can't say for sure there is a god, then we certainly can't make statements about god based solely on our logic or what we think seems reasonable or obvious. What do we know? The kind of precise "facts" about god; what he is, what he did, or what he wants, that the religions preach are simply not believable. In fact, they are really stupid questions. Its like arguing about how many reindeer pull Santa's sleigh. They are really stupid questions.

You really can't get through life without making some sort of assumptions. If we waited for full evidence of anything we would be paralyzed into inaction. There is nothing wrong with that, in fact, our brains seem to be designed to operate in an environment where information is lacking or untrustworthy. So if things make more sense to you if you have faith in something, then good for you. But you can't expect anyone to just accept what you believe as obvious. It ain't.

I have faith in lots of things, I believe the universe can be understood, that by studying how it works we can make our lives safer and more interesting. I also have faith that the universe is not out to get me, or fool me, punish me or tempt me into doing the wrong things if I lack faith. I also have faith that the universe is indifferent to me, it not only does not care about me, it doesn't even know I'm here. Do I know this for a fact? Of course not, I can't. But these are the assumptions I have made so that I can fit the observations I have made about the world around me into some kind of program I can follow to make sense of what I see around me and react to it in some form of consistent and reasonable manner.

But do I think the universe expects me to face east when I pray, or whether or not I eat meat on Fridays, or take Sunday off from work, or that I will live forever in perfect happiness, or horrible torture, if I believe or don't believe stuff in a book written thousands of years ago by some superstitious tribesmen?

I'm sorry. I just can't take any of that nonsense seriously, and I can't take people who do believe it seriously either.
