Welcome aboard. Hopefully you can use this forum as a place in which you can sharpen your debating and argument-presenting skills.
I think that currently the best argument for atheism isn't just to refute anyone's beliefs just for the sake of it.
The best argument in my opinion is that if we don't do something about the stronghold that Monotheistic religions enjoy and enforce today, then we can never even hope to solve violently urgent matters such as over-population, climate-change and the rapid expenditure of fossil fuels with no Plan B in sight.
Some people would argue that any of the above could be even more pressing than religion itself, claiming that religion is "harmless" and merely a means for the masses to seek comfort and a sense of belonging in something bigger than themselves. The problem is, solving *any* of the aforementioned problems means letting go of religion first, and in the most expeditious manner possible.
Lastly, may I suggest a text-color other than pink? Took a while to make out what you wrote there.
Ummmm who the fuck are you?
Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.
