There shouldn't be, imho. If atheism is simply "I don't know 100% if God/s exists, but there is not enough proof to convince me personally that He does, so I will continue to live and think as though He doesn't unless more evidence is presented", I don't know how that can be any sort of argument for the non existence of anything.
No, you like the idea. You see others buying into that same idea. Someone introduced you to the idea. So what? Most humans get raised in the religion their parents sell them. Again, you are in the same boat as any Mormon, Jew, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu ect ect ect.....
Our species gap fills because that is easier to find comfort in than to face the reality that we are not important to the planet or universe and we are finite. You assume your god exists just like people of other religions assume they got it right.
Do you have to argue for the non existence of invisible pink unicorns? Do you automatically assume before hand that I am dating Angelina Jolie? The burden of proof is on you, not us. Otherwise send me 500 bucks to a Nigerian e mail because lucky you, you won the Canadian lottery, but I need 500 bucks for processing fees and legal fees to send you the 75,000.
Funny how everyone of every religion claims they got it right on top of liking it too. How convenient your god coincides with what you like believing.
