As a weak atheist you are stating no beliefs at all, you have literally zero burden of proof. Once you make a positive statement about your belief, it's reasonable for someone to ask you what your reasons are. Which is fine, and there can be good reasons. But my point is that this is really time wasted when the theist should be explaining their nonsense.
All I have to say is lack of evidence and that's it. Of course, when asked, I sometimes provide logical arguments that show God's existence to be either unnecessary or even logically impossible. But I don't even have to go that far. Lack of evidence is a good enough argument in this case.
