Cumulatively, all these points just raise the probabilities higher and higher. Combined with the lack of any good arguments or scientific evidence in support of atheism, one can conclude with a high degree of confidence that most atheism is irrational.

Atheism doesn't need any arguments, seriously? Do you understand the burden of proof? And you are just lying when you say there is no scientific evidence to support atheism. There is certainly plenty that discredits the christian god. The earth is billions of years old for one, the bible says otherwise. It also says humans came from adam and eve. But there is no evidence of this in our DNA, if it were true, we would see a genetic bottle neck. But there is none. I could literally write for hours about all the scientific evidence that discredits and contradicts god and supports atheism.

I hope you're kidding. Children at a young age are not skeptical at all? Can you think about that statement for a second and tell me how you can make such a sweeping, total universal claim? Ugh.

Please explain why children believe in santa, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny etc. Oh please lets hear your hypothesis on this.

You wrote:
I mean, we could take your same argument and make it show atheism to be nonsensical.

a) Kids believe all kinds of nonsense.
b) Most atheists became atheists when they were kids

Unsupported assertion, please provide the peer reviewed study that confirms this.

Atheism always has a "burden of proof".
