Please present positive arguments why you think atheism is true

How can you know with some measure that there is such a being?

You can't know. You can only deduce.

If you say that there cannot be anything besides the physical, then that's a claim against something you can't prove. Conjecture, which materialists should steer clear of unless they want to contradict themselves.

See a materialist has to say "I don't know" a lot. Nothing wrong with that, except there are a lot of useful things he could know if he made a few intelligent links. Things fall together, a good solution works out from an hypothesis. A materialist almost denies the human ability to think. Thinking is dangerous because it moves out of the realm of certainty.
