You don't need a fancy/complex argument. Theism/atheism exists similar as other things do, and there will naturally be an equilibrium that occurs over time. Theism will change to accommodate variations of atheism and vice versa. You'll gradually see theists adopt things from atheists, and atheists will refine their culture to be compatible with a theistic culture. Just think of it as symbiosis. If one could eliminate the other, then that construct would become irrelevant, but since it's not likely that we'll see that happen anytime soon, you'll see variations continually arise to maintain that symbiosis. Culturally speaking, both resemble each other increasingly as time goes on. What theism was 10 years ago isn't what it is today (greater emphasis on logic and rationale) and the same goes for atheism (adoption of church practices combined with a humanistic approach). That doesn't validate either ideology, but rather contributes a mutual dependence between one another.
