well, maybe one little debate or two.

There is a fight raging between Christianity and Atheism however. Christianity is beginning to decline. 65% of Europeans are already Atheists.

THat still leaves approx. 2 billion followers, and Christianity is still the world's largest religion, contrary to popular opinion.

Doesn't God seem like a selfish, spoiled little child for demanding complete and blind loyalty? Especially considering all the evidence he put out to contradict his own existence?

That is one of those big questions, isn't it? It, at least in my opinion, doesn't make him seem like a child but more like a "wiser than you can imagine old man".
He demands complete loyalty, yet he gives us free will, instead of just creating us without it. That way he knows we are truly loyal and devoted and loving, because we have the choice.
Since there is free will, many people have chosen to reject him, and to make themselves feel better, they make up evidence to support themselves. Think about the big bang theory. Are you really going to believe that a grain of sand (which no one can explain how it got there) exploded, and we are just some cosmic anomaly? Or how about another crazy religion, Scientology. We are the decsendents of aliens which dropped an egg into a volcano. Yeah, that's logical. People are just trying to find evidence that seems true, but really isn't. God didn't create false evidence, man did.
