I noticed recently that there are a lot more arguments that attack the justifiability of believing rather than assert the position of knowing. In order to assert the justifiability of claiming to know there are no gods, it seems one would need to show that the existence of a god was impossible. There are arguments along those lines, but they're less prominent than justifications for simply not believing (the argument from evil and the incoherence of god's attributes pops to mind). An example of the kind justifying nonbelief is comparisons of gods to mythical creatures. That a god betrays signs that s/he is a mythical creature is not positive evidence that said god does not exist, only that it would be unwise to believe in such a god. This is similar to the blog author's claim that god belief is irrational. Should we be claiming that a) I lack belief and b) that those who profess belief are being unreasonable, instead of just claiming a lack of belief? Is the relative obscurity of proofs of the impossibility of god a problem for atheism?
