Atheists disbelieve in a god, and then assert it's rational to due so, but lack any validated means to disbelieve. It's as rational as saying a god does exist.
Claiming the other side is irrational is trying to take the intellectual high ground, however, most of the irony lies in your condemnation of others for their self-righteous attitude while simultatneously prattling on with an air of self-righteousness.
