Minor Premise: If a moral, infinite being exists, then such a being has moral obligations, namely, to reveal, unambiguously, objective moral truths to Us, His Creation.
Conclusion: Since such a clear revelation has never occurred, therefore, god does not exist.
I've never really thought of it as a moral question like that before, but the fact that there is not a continual clear revelation made by God of it's existence to us is my main reason for being an atheist.
It is infathomable to me that an all powerful god would choose to reveal his existence to the modern world by telling barely literate people in the middle ages about himself and not just us directly.
Theists normally counter with some free will argument, which is nonsense, cause we'd still have the choice to worship or not. In fact we can't even make such a choice without knowing that God exists. So good not revealing himself is a violation of our free will.
