The best argument for being an atheist is that there is, so far, no evidence for any god(s). Though, there's much speculation about whether someone can choose to be an atheist or not. I suppose we probably cannot choose.
I don't remember making a choice to be an atheist so much as coming to the realization that I was an atheist. It was an uncovering of how I actually felt or "believed," not sitting down and checking a box or making a choice.
So, the best argument for being an atheist is that no real evidence for any gods has been presented yet. That's like saying, what's the best argument for holding the stance that you don't believe in vampires?
Well, before we even get to talking about why someone shouldn't believe in vampires, you actually gotta present some evidence for vampires first, so we can start a conversation.
The conversation about god or gods hasn't even started yet and theists fail to realize this.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
