Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

Atheist: Why?

Believer: Because the fine-tuning of the universe for life is exponentially more likely on theism than on naturalism, and thus constitutes a strong probabilistic argument for theism. [This does in fact seem to be true]
No, it doesn't.
Especially since 'fine tuning' cannot be convincingly demonstrated.

Atheist: You're wrong.
Believer: Why am I wrong?
Me: Because there is no proof that your god exists.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

It is when the evidence should be there.

At the same time I think its disingenuous for some to rail against believers and hiding behind a facade of indifference. If they were simply nonbelievers then the appropriate position is agnosticism.

You continue to willfully ignore the definition of atheism - you are tiresome.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
