I mean, the argument that No God Exists seems pretty simple to me, but religious people seem to always be chasing their tails, coming up with complex logical and philosophical arguments.
It does seem odd that it takes so much argument to justify belief, but it doesn't really prove much. Proving seemingly trivial theorems in logic and mathematics can take a huge amount of work.
That said, religious arguments usually boil down into circular reasoning or other similar fallacies. They just use a lot of words to hide the weak point.
