For me, I find that my favourite is the fact that basically all religions give humanity (and human concepts such as morality) a central role in how the universe works. This I find laughably naive when compared to our current understanding of reality, and really just serves to prove how flawed of an interpretation of the world religion is.
So, what is your favourite positive argument for atheism?
I really hate the suffix "ism" attached to what basically means "off". It is like accusing a light switch of having an ideology. "Off" is a position, not a political or religious view.
Having said that, yes, I agree. Most humans get sold the religions of their parents/societies they grow up in and are surrounded by. Our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed. That was then this is now. It was understandable back then when humans didn't have our modern understanding of science, but it does look absurd now.
