Believing despite the lack of evidence and in the face of contrary evidence isn't exactly rational.
The simple statement, “atheism is the rational response to a lack of evidence’, presupposes ontological and/or epistemological naturalism. However, the tools of naturalistic inquiry do not allow anyone to step outside naturalism to confirm its veracity. From a purely logical perspective it is no different than quoting Scripture to confirm the reliability of Scripture.
