A challenge for atheists.

Give me a good argument for atheism that has nothing to do with Christianity or the Abrahamic God. I think some of you have forgotten that other theistic religions exist. EDIT: Let me rephrase: give me a good reason that a god, not just the Abrahamic God, but any god in general could not exist, or probably does not exist. EDIT: Some of you disgust me. I ask for you to educate me on your point of view, and you insist on starting a flame war instead. Thanks to those who are peacefully stating their opinions.

    • There's never been an instance where a god has made himself apparent to me, I don't think if nobody told me/taught me about him such a thing would've never occurred to me

    • Not an athiest but the double slit experiment seems to suggest consciousness is just the illusion of animation.

        • There's no proof showing gods exist or any proof showing gods don't exist therefore I'm an atheist

            • Because the idea that any being has the ability to spontaneously control any part of nature with no effort, whenever he/she/it pleases, is absulutely ludicrous.

            • Because the universe does not require oneto exist. A god is unnecessary.

                      I genuinely have a problem when religious people fob me off with the excuse "it's gods will" when I say this: [i]God loves everyone. What about the 11,000,000 people who died in the Holocaust (let's not forget, friends, that 10% - 1.1 [u]MILLION[/u] of those were children. 11 million people were slaughters like animals because they were considered to be abnormal in the eyes of the Nazï rule.[/i] Now the problem I've got is that how can an all loving, all powerful, all knowing God allow the massacre of millions of people? A Christian would say "It's the work of Satan" but someone who is [u]all powerful[/u] can stop Satan from allowing these things to happen [i]or[/i] stop Satan from existing in the first place. At this point a Christian would say "that would be messing with free will" but if God is all powerful then he can just stop the Devil from being without screwing around with free will because (again) he's all powerful. Sorry just had to rant at that. Anyone who has an answer I'd like to hear it because I'm genuinely confused by the Christian belief. [spoiler]If tl:dr summary: -The Holocaust disproves Gods existence IMO - God can kill Satan without messing around with free will - Need answers[/spoiler]

                      • Stop asking me why something doesn't exist. And start telling me why it does...

                        • It's pretty simple, actually. If there is no evidence to suggest something, then why believe it? It's the same reason that we don't believe that unicorns are real: there is no evidence. Why should the idea of God be any different?

                        • All gods die eventually. Whether they exist or not everyone loses faith and jumps on the next bandwagon.

                            It is unnecessary to disprove that which has never been proven. It's why you're free to believe in Santa, but Santa most likely does not exist. You can never say Santa can be disproven, just highly improbable.

                            • The burden of proof lies with you, not us. I don't have to argue for atheism, you have to argue for religion.

                                • Sure, gods and goddesses could exist. I don't completely dismiss the existence of gods or goddesses it's just that I don't see any evidence that doesn't have a more plausible explanation for their existence. On a not entirely unrelated note, if I were forced to choose a religion that wasn't a sarcastic one (pastafarianism, jedism, etc) it would be wiccanism, one of the easier religions to disprove.
