I think it’s important to understand that atheists don’t just not believe in your god, but, rather, we don’t believe in any gods. Allah is dismissed just like your god. The Jewish god is dismissed just like your god. Same goes for Satan, or anything else along those lines.
Also, the degree of disbelief tends to change when it comes to particular gods. I personally find all known religions, especially those regarding mono-deities, to be patently absurd. They’re self-contradictory, and don’t stand up to even the slightest examination. But, I’m open to the possibility of something unlike the gods described in history to exist. The problem there is that such a being is ill defined, and there’s nothing that conclusively points to any kind of divinity anyway. Without sufficient reason to believe, I cannot believe.
So, it’s not for me to prove there is absolutely no god. Instead, due to a combination of shoddy assertions and a complete lack of legitimate corroborating evidence pointing to the divine, I can only conclude that no god exists.
