Feel free to state your  best argument or  compelling reasons.

The more you lean about theology, apologetics, and the atheists arguments (and their rebuttals), it clears away any compelling argument for atheism. I think people believe the case for atheism to be much stronger than it really is and/or that Christianity is much more impervious to assault than it really is.

There is no argument necessary for Atheism. It is non-belief in a story others have told. Now you can try to explain why others may have come to their mistaken beliefs, but those aren't an argument FOR Atheism. For instance, at our earliest existence we experienced Night and Day. We couldn't see at night, so our imagination created ways to survive the dark.  I believe that is where the earliest formation of a theology began. Is that an argument for atheism? No.
