Here are some arguments for the non-existence of god:
Ontological Argument:
We cannot conceive of a non-existent being more perfect than the god who does not exist. Because we can conceive of a perfect non-existent being he must not exist otherwise he would be an imperfect non-existent being by existing.
First Cause:
All things capable of causing themselves to exist do not require a cause. The universe caused itself to exist and therefore no god caused the universe to exist.
Watchmaker:
Complexity and order require a designer. The idea of god contains within it complexity and order and therefore was designed by something. That something is man.
Pascal's Wager:
God either exists or does not. Man has no way of knowing with certainty whether god exists and therefore must make a choice to believe or not believe. One must roll the dice and select a random god off the list of religions. There can only be one or no "correct" religion and the odds are significant that one will choose the wrong religion due to the vast majority of religions being false. If one chooses the wrong religion one will be living a lie and subordinating oneself to harmful and false beliefs. If one chooses not to believe in god then one has the freedom to live in the manner they please, free from dogma and with a healthy, happy, skeptical mind in the dignity of being undeceived. Plus, what have you got to lose?
