Many atheists have no problem asserting that the universe has always existed, or that the universe happened out of nothing. Why could the same not be true for god(s)?

If a universe has always existed or came out of nothing, then there is no need for any gods. Name something that has never been needed that exists.
Let's not forget that at the simplest level, that god is a substitute for the unknowable.

Why is entirely possible that gods exist?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
