A non existent one.
I think most atheists have gone through a "I wish there was a/wouldn't it be cool if there was a god" phase at some point in their life - I mean the hippy happy jebus type god, not that fucking clown in the bible who kills for fuck all... but wanting or wishing something to be true will never ever make it true. Only being true, makes something true.
There is nothing that would lead a reasonable, unbrainwashed individual into believing it to be true.
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.
