I'm get the ball rolling.
I don't care much for any argument from best explanation because apologists never ever meet basic criteria for an explanation. By this I mean they'll yell god is the best explanation for blah blah but never give a transparent account of what god did or what their explanation actually is. They zoom past before anyone can question the explanation and then shift burden of proof.
I hate hate HATE the argument from the internal witness of the holy spirit/anything reformed epistemology related.
Surely the recursive argument fallacy of 'The bible is right because it says so.' has to be in the top 10.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
