Reason for this: There is no evidence for god where there should be (not just that "there is no evidence..." that's agnosticism.)
Counter from theists: God created the universe/did the fine tuning/created humans/the Kalam/The argument from contingency/the Fine Tuning argument etc etc.
My counter for atheism that beats all arguments for God: God doesn't have a brain or neurons - he's immaterial not made of matter or energy - so how can he think thoughts or have knowledge? Without a brain or neurons he couldn't create a universe or create anything else.
I've never got any evidence that God can think without a brain or neurons.
god is simply a concept, a fantasy. The theist could respond that their god can think and have thoughts without a human/animal like brain and neurons, why, because it's god.
Theists have created a god fantasy, much the same as Superman. They can put forward all the different kinds of arguments (what you term as their counter) that the fantasy exists, but they will never be able to provide concrete evidence.
