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.
By 'atheism +' do you mean strong or 'positive' atheism? Or are you referring to atheism plus something in addition?
I was wondering about that. I was hoping it meant 'atheism + broccoli'. Comes with an eggroll.
