Thanks in advance
Making the positive case that 'god' -as if you or anyone else knew what this word refers to- does not exist, will just allow them to turn all your best points agains you. Much better to stick to insisting that terms be defined and then challenge the legitimacy of the supernatural. If not even one noncontroversial exemplar of anything supernatural can be produced, then that set can safely be assumed to be empty.
