Atheism is just as irrational as Theism.

Because of the ambiguous nature of the word "god", atheists assume far too much and hold an illogical standpoint.

Firstly, atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods.

Since the word "god" means so many things to so many people (some think "god" is the universe, some think "god" is an alien lifeform, some think "god" is supernatural)

Therefore, describing your belief system with a word that has so many meaning is just logically incoherent.

Okay, so let's take it a step further. Let's say atheists define "god" as divine, a being that transcends space and time, a being that is supernatural.

This is what most people think of when they think of "god", a supernatural being that is omnipotent(All powerful) omniscient(All knowing), omnipresent(everywhere at once).

The problem with this is,the word supernatural is and always will be meaningless.

Something that is "supernatural" is beyond conceptualization and cannot be observed within reality. If we could observe or conceptualize a "supernatural god" it would no longer be supernatural. Humans can only perceive and conceptualize that which we know. Something that is supernatural is simply beyond perception and rational thought.

Unless you define god as an alien being(not supernatural) that exists in nature, atheism is logically incoherent.
