There is no evidence of god. There isn't even evidence that it may likely be true. The more scientific discoveries that are made in the field of physics, the more it seems like the specific god-claims that are being made are not true. Of course, you can't disprove a god, but you don't need to. The burden of truth lies in the theist's hands.

As for the second question, people like to feel superior to others, and sometimes their holy book gives them a justification for that. Yes, it's awful at times, but if people can justify a prejudice they hold by claiming an absolute morality from their holy book, they will.
