You have to define the term "God" in order to develop an argument. The problem with most theists is that this term is a moving target.
In addition, because there is no evidence either for or against the existence of God, you cannot use deductive logic (a+b=c; therefore c-b=a). You can only reach a conclusion by inductive reasoning using the balance of evidence (90% of A is also B; C is B, so the chances are 90% that C is also A).
I will assert (and others will shoot this down) that the only RELEVANT definition of God states that he intervenes to circumvent natural laws.
If God circumvents natural laws, then it is impossible to understand natural laws. All scientific findings would have to include the stipulation, "it is also possible that these results are an act of God, a miracle, making our research meaningless." However, since we have been able to expand our knowledge of natural laws (evidenced by every appliance in your kitchen), the scientific method works in this discovery. And the likely conclusion is that God, at least the intervening kind, does not exist.
Additionally, if God is defined as all loving, all powerful, and all knowing, then it is impossible to explain suffering. Either God is not all loving (he acts sadistically), not all powerful (he cannot prevent suffering), or not all knowing (he created suffering by mistake because he didn't know the consequences of his actions).
If God is less than these or does not intervene in our existence, then he is either non-existent or irrelevant. The classic argument is that I cannot prove that a china teapot is orbiting the sun directly across from the earth's orbit. But while I cannot prove this is not true, the evidence against it is compelling.
The evidence against God is equally compelling, and while it is not possible to prove beyond any doubt, it makes more sense to live your life as if there were not God.
It is more compelling to me that humans have invented God to reflect the thoughts of the ruling powers in a particular time. Because humans are always looking for reasons, when none are found, it was the natural inclination to declare the cause to be "God" (or gods). As the faith grew, miracles and laws have been ascribed to this Divinity, and an orthodoxy grows up around it.
Successful religions over the long run also are accompanied by some level of economic well-being to the populace. Unsuccessful ones are seen as false because they don't lead to improved lives.
Now it seems unhelpful to believe in such superstition. The only matters that aid in our ongoing well being are work, location, health, sustenance, and pure, blind luck.

The best reason is that there is no proof what so ever that God exist! Out of all the time the earth has been here we have no proof at all that there is a divine creator.

Well it depends on how you see it, if you look at all the good things that have happened, or all the bad things that have happened. If you look at the good things that have happened such as the stop of Hitler then to you there is a God. If you look at the bad things that have happened such as ISIS, or Osama Bin Laden then to you there is no God. If you're not looking at events then you might be looking at proof. To someone there's NO proof of God, but to someone else there's IS proof of God. But to someone else there could be many gods who do different events such as destruction or love. It all depends on what side of the rail your on.

There is no reason. Man are without excuse by the things that were created. Romans 1:18-20, Genesis 1

No best reason except that you do not believe there is God. Let others believe and you feel free to believe otherwise. Respect for each other's choice of right to exist and beliefs.

There´s no best reason and no real reason. It is just satan´s spirit of rebellion. Everything around us says there is a God who created all. But the Bible is right when it says that satan has blinded the unbelievers so that the light of the gospel cannot shine into their hearts. God bless you!!!

Best reason is to make yourself feel like you are in control of everything. Although, there is a God. Doesnt matter if you deny it or not, the truth will not change. God is real

There is no reason NOT to believe in God.
But God shows His anger from Heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God! Romans 1 v 18 - 20

You seem to have the whole issue backwards. It is not a matter of seeking for a reason NOT to believe. There simply is no compelling reason TO BELIEVE in god.

There is no "reason" to believe any existence claim about God, positive or negative.
