What is your favourite positive argument for atheism/unbelief?
Title is pretty much self-explanatory. So basically any argument that isn't "lack of evidence".

For me, I find that my favourite is the fact that basically all religions give humanity (and human concepts such as morality) a central role in how the universe works. This I find laughably naive when compared to our current understanding of reality, and really just serves to prove how flawed of an interpretation of the world religion is.

So, what is your favourite positive argument for atheism?
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
