Coming late to this, I refer to your first post, Alastor.
Given that we don't ( yet ) know how everything came into being, you take the lazy route and claim " god did it ".
You must then answer the inevitable follow-on question as to who created the creator.
I prefer to accept that what there is has always been.....an explanation that suits me until science or religion comes up with the definitive answer. Bet you can guess which I think will get there first!
There is nothing arrogant about stating a non-belief in gods. It is a simple, precise opinion.
There is no burden of proof on the atheist as there is on those who state that a particular god exists. Sorry.
I would also like to ask you if you worship whatever you think your god is?

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
