Is there any  logical. reasonable. rational reason to be an A atheist or "apatheist"

Sure.  No requirement -in- atheism, though..that a person possesses one.

See my first post. Thanks for your opinion.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

There;s no requirement of coin flipping in atheism either. It;s not a position on coins or the distribution of probability between their two faces. You;re welcome.

It's really simple.  I don't see any evidence for god(s), so I don't accept the proposition that he/she/it/them exist.  That's all. Yes, I think that's rational.

Yes, because belief that a god concept actually exists in reality is a fantasy delusion.

But Superman, he's real. Do you believe in S?
