That's why I'm a "weak" atheist now and not a "strong" atheist. Claiming to have conclusive evidence deities don't exist is too hard to defend because it's easy to revise theism to dodge criticism. I've noticed atheist philosophers like Graham Oppy believe there aren't dialectically effective arguments one way or another.
