This is all you needed to post. Looks like you're stuck with your religion.
There can be no argument in favor of non-belief except in so far as what is claimed contradicts what is known. Since god claims are classified as supernatural, contradiction with the natural world is no longer relevant .. assuming you accept that the set of supernatural things is empty as I do. However, even there I have to admit my belief regarding the emptiness of the set of supernatural things is my own bias.
For most of us, non-belief is the default response to baseless claims, especially when the claims are extraordinary verging on absurd regarding entities which are poorly defined. I can't help you shed your onerous beliefs so long as your own bias is to imagine the set of supernatural things to be teeming with entities. Maybe 'god' will help you. I can't.
