You can not disprove a god. But neither can you prove one.
For over two thousand years the Abrahamic cult has spawned Judaism, Christianity, and Muslim. With so many people involved and very dedicated to these religions, one would assume that eventually someone would come up with definitive proof of a god. But the best that has happened is vague references to vague documents that make wild claims. And for that, absence of evidence implies evidence of absence.
Personally, I believe such religious constructs are figments of the imagination, just like Spider Man, Thor, and the Easter Bunny. And for the same reason one cannot definitively disprove those creatures, the same logic applies to the god claim.
I can not disprove any holy book, because they are an amalgamation of multiple stories from multiple sources, the truth lost in the passage of time. Some aspects of holy books are accurate, but some are just crazy wild. Riding a chariot in the sky? Rising from the dead?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Personally I do not claim a god does not exist. But I do insist that I must be provided with empirical evidence to believe one exists.
I wouldn't. I'll answer their claims if they're unevidenced or irrational. If they're not then I'd probably not be an atheist.
Also atheism can't be evidenced. There is no such thing as evidence for a non existent thing. What evidence disproves the existence of unicorns or mermaids? Only a better analogy would be invisible unicorns.
