Unless you can clearly explain what the problem is (which you still haven't been able to, notice), I don't see a point.
Atheism may be built on empty sloganeering. But in the real world, you need substance.
Theists have not managed to convince me that their idea of gods or god are true. That's it really.
I don't think that's enough.
Someone can be unconvinced because they are irrational. Because they are prejudiced, or stubborn. Because they have an emotional commitment to their view that flies in the face of the evidence. They can be unconvinced because they are stupid or incompetent.
So it's not enough to say you are unconvinced. You have to show that you have made a reasonable attempt at examining purported evidence, and had good reasons for deeming them unconvincing.
Now THAT would be convincing. Can you do that?
