Atheists don't argue to put something in place of a creator, the purpose is to believe what is observable and rational and not to give in at difficulties in understanding and ascribe the solution to a supernatural entity. To convince a believer one only needs to convince them to finally use a critical and skeptical mind on their beliefs, this will at the least lead to agnosticism if not atheism. It's convincing them to do this that is the hard part.

Well, good luck with that. You still have to compete with Jesus Christ.
