Which arguments for atheism do you find most convincing? If logical contradictions please state which one.

My vote was on hiddeness and lack of reason to believe.

No evidence, no credibility no likely hood....nothing.
My vote has to be on all of above really.




Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

This poll seems tragically flawed. Atheism needs no reason because it is not a belief -- it is beliefs other than atheism which need reasons.

My favoured argument for the non-existence of deities is that of Epistemology. Any Epistemology apart from methodological naturalism is quite literally built on sand.

That DOES NOT mean there cannot be an argument for not believing in deities, refutation of a position is legitimate even when the alternative is a non-judgement.
