No bible bashing etc...... which would be a negative argument.
But that's sort of a double negative; atheism is a negative viewpoint, it isn't in of itself "true".
That's not fair, atheism is a negative position. You can't defend a negative position with positive arguments. That just doesn't work logically. You aim to have a discussion where you completely disarm your opposition that is completely pointless.
But since you asked... Atheism is true because it has not been proven that God exists.
Q.E.D.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
