I will debate that it can't be proven that believing in God is irrational.
There is proofs for God but they rely on properly basic premises. The problem isn't necessarily that these premises are not manifestly true, it's that Atheists tend to ask for proof for everything, but at the end, we are going to have properly basic beliefs.
For example, that the past existed and is not a made up illusion by a trickster creator. That we are continuous self (you are not a completely different person from the person you were a minute ago). That goodness exists. That the people we see are real individuals with real experience and a mind (that we aren't seeing illusions of people in a world where only our mind exists). There is a lot that are built upon properly basic beliefs we have.
There is good arguments for God if a person is really looking for the truth in a humble way my opinion. But if people are looking at proving there is no proof whenever meeting an argument, they will always use prove this prove that, even when things are obvious in themselves.
I can discuss for reasons that prove God. But if you want a knock out argument that none of the premises can be doubted, I don't think you'll find it.
