I will play the person you believe I am, a "dumb redneck christian" and I will ask you things so you can answer them to me with evidence, of course. First question:
If God did not create the earth, how is it that we have an earth here and we live in it? Also, I beg, provide evidence for your claims.
Pretty sure scientists have a good idea of how planets form, and they don't start off as bodies of liquid water, floating in a place where a sun isn't present.
As for reasons I'm an atheist where claims can be tested, I suppose I could bring up evidence that a creator god, and the story of Jesus are not unique. Though it shouldn't take a long internet search to figure that one out.
Other reasons would be less about gods existing, and more about me not wanting to worship someone. Especially someone with a moral compass as skewed as the god of the bible. Though this would make me more of a miso/maltheist than an atheist.
