What is your favourite positive argument for atheism/unbelief?

RE: What is your favourite positive argument for atheism/unbelief?
Particular to christians?  The argument from hiddenness.  Natural non-resistant non-belief.  I find it useful in that you don't have to argue in the binding assertion.  The hiddenness of god is dogmaticaly accepted by christians...and expressed both in the OT and NT directly and unmistakably.  It's the dark night of the soul, every believing human being has felt it. Even god himself...purportedly, felt it (lol?). It's why you can't find him with a telescope...or any other instrument man has ever invented to detect anything.  Here are some gems:


-and here's a variant of the argument

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
