What is existence?
I'm not an atheist because I choose not to form that opinion. When you say "arguments against the existence of God (or gods)" they're pretty much irrelevant, because none of them can ever be both exhaustive and conclusive to disprove any god whatsoever. You can't ever prove any "god" or "gods" doesn't exist, you can't obtain the knowledge necessary to rule out any "god" existing anywhere, and if one god is found anywhere at any point, it instantly negates all arguments for atheism. So I can't be "atheist" because it's an investment that can never be fully supported, and has no return in that investment. That doesn't mean atheists can't be scientific, productive, moral in behavioral choices, or geniuses who can change the world for the better, but it doesn't require the said opinion.
There is no value for atheism. You must prove a value of 0 and the theist must prove a value of at least 1. If there's nothing, it can't be relative to anything because there is nothing else to be relative to.
I don't have a problem with people being atheists, theists, or whatever they choose to claim to be. It's their choice, just the same as it is for anybody else.
