Anarchism is a system of government though it says it "is no system of government" at all. It doesn't get to win by default by saying that. It must be show that it is the true and best government system. Similarly, Atheism comes under Religous Systems. It is not excused from the obligations of showing it is the true and best form of religion or religious opinion. It must also adduce solid and weighty evidence in its favor to be taken seriously.
Anarchism has tenets of "no government is the best government", but doesn't state anything about the existence of governments. My version of atheism makes no claims about the existence of gods, but rather about my state of belief.

This is a non sequitur.

This is, as well. How does this follow from your analogy to anarchism?
As for evidence that atheism is true, I suppose that depends on the brand of atheism. An agnostic atheist such as myself makes no claims about the existence of gods, but rather, only about whether I find what is proffered as "evidence" is entirely unconvincing. I need not prove to you my lack of belief.
Atheists making the positive claim that gods do not or cannot exist do have the obligation to evidence that positive claim. Given that I don't make that claim, and (more to the point) don't care what you believe so long as you don't inflict it upon others, why should I present what I think is evidence for a claim I am not making?
You, on the other hand, who propounds not only the existence of a god but one so full of contradictions as to be absurd -- you have your hands full with this demand for evidence. You should probably worry about evidencing your own claims before demanding such from others who disagree with you.
But I doubt you're interested in challenging your own beliefs. You seem primarily engaged in sermonizing them.
