It's up to a theist to present a concept of God and to provide reasons why it refers, and it's up to an atheist to follow and understand the argument and to evaluate it fairly.
The point is, we all have to, well, think hard.
I wrote, "to present a concept of God AND to provide reasons why it refers." "Refers," as in has an actual reference? As in provide reasons (evidence) for why this concept exists?
You can do better than that.
