Hey Anti-Theists! Prove Your Claim

[Mudhammam]

One way to justify disbelief in gods is to show the improbability of their existence. However, a better way to justify it is with an argument to the most likely explanation for god claims. If it can be shown that fraud, imagination, or error account for god claims better than the actual existence of a god, then one has justified discounting that god claim. This is especially potent when coupled with arguments about the multiplicity of incompatible claims, and the geographical dispersion of god claims. In this way, one eliminates all common god claims and justifies disbelief in all of them. Remember, knowledge is justified true belief, and the belief that all god claims are unsubstantiated has been justified in this manner, justifies belief that no god exists.

You could easily demonstrate the absurdity of belief in the God concept as it relates to any specific claim about supernatural beings who act within our natural experience. However, I'm not so sure one can justify disbelief in God as an intelligible First Cause, the whatever-you-want-to-call it from which the Universe has its origin, an origin that principles of reason seem to cohere with the notion of an infinite, necessary, and free existence.
