The current attitude among atheists is mch more akin to nihilists: we can't prove God exists with science, so he doesn't exist; therefore, fuck it, I'll do what I want.
To me it seems simple and arrogant
My current argument, as an atheist, is that we are done. Religion, in and of itself, is/has been used to manipulate and control the population. It has no place in the public sphere. It has no place in government.

It is not the job of the atheist to prove that God does not exist. It is the job of the believer to prove that God does. Thus far there has not been an argument presented that cannot be taken out. It can be done with text and science.
