Let's assume your Christian opponent has a box, inside this box is god. The only way to know for certain if god exists is to look inside the box but, if he/she looks inside the box then they destroy faith, and without faith his/her god cannot exist.
This demonstrates that god must exist in a superposition of both existing and not existing at the same time and any attempt to prove he/she/it exists by looking in the box causes 'faith' to collapse.
Therefore Christians must accept the possibility that god does not exist or else he/she/it cannot exist. Ergo, atheism is the only true position.
Or I'll eat my cat.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
