After the fact that there's no evidence of course, because well there isn't.
1. Occam's Razor (God is much harder to explain than any
scientific theories, therefore the theories are most likely the correct explanations)
2. evolution (God didn't create each species all at once, there was one common ancestor some 4 billion years ago which evolved)
3. contradictions and fallacies in Holy Books (there's a lot!)
4. the number of diverse religions in the world (not every religion can be right according to them)
5. poor morality and violence shown in Holy Books (isn't God supposed to be perfect?)
6. The super-ego projection: A psychological explanation as to why people invent gods just as a perfect version of themselves. That's why most gods are men (patriarchal) and the same ethnicity of the believers.(Indian gods are Indian!)
7. Self-contradictory nature of God: Can God microwave a burrito so hot that he cannot eat it? Who created God?
All those 'logical' arguments

8. "Putting god in the gaps": people like to explain the unexplainable with something equally unexplainable (ie. God did it!). This is how religion began in the first place

None of these really disprove the existence of God because you can't disprove the existence of anything. Rather it almost completely disproves the existence of any man-made god or personal god.

Whether a diety of some form exists can neither be proven or disproven entirely, so that becomes a circular argument.
More the point, it is fairly easy to prove to an objective person that the characteristics attributed to the God of the bible are man-made.
This is shown by the preponderance of regional influence (I don't hear alot of discussion about the Americas in the bible), temporal isolation (Jesus doesn't mention Television sets), Direct conflicts of biblical passages, language interpretation (17 words for hell in the bible, some actually refer to a gargage dump), plagarism from older religions and myths, the propensity for believers to usurp other cultural dogma into their own (Christmas on the winter solstice, Easter eggs) and physical evidence that directly contradicts biblical reference. Throw in widespread biblical editing, factionization of Judeo-Christian faiths, and good ol' fashion greed as known manipulators of original faith.
Even if a God did write the ten commandments personally, there are at least 3 major versions of them available today. How do we know which one is evidence of God? If the facts aren't straight on the one artifact that God literally etched in stone for humankind, how can myths, urban legends, and oral history created centuries after the event possibly be true representations of God even if he did exist?

You state that we've not got any data that there is not any god yet how is it conceivable to coach that something would not exist? we are able to in uncomplicated terms factor as much as the sky and say, I cant see it so this is not any longer there, then you would desire to look up interior the sky and say, you're incorrect there he's, at which factor i visit assert, definite you're top i can make certain him, if this ever occurs, i visit develop right into a believer yet in all the 1000's of years this has by no potential occurred, god has by no potential been commonplace to be everywhere different than interior the minds of adult males that want or would desire to have self belief in it, to me the belief-approximately there being a good being available it is so all useful and so amazing yet needs to stay hidden from the persons that he's meant to love is previous mind's eye and so preposterous that i discover it very perplexing to understand why clever human beings could even think of roughly it for greater advantageous than a minute till now identifying that that's incredibly impossible, if a god did exist incredibly it could make effective that we had little doubt in any respect that he became into actual yet as typical, the respond is "god strikes in mysterious strategies" nicely, why does he? i can assure that the final answer will take transport of to somebody that has a similar opinion with you, you weren't requesting a controversy on the project, you have been purely searching for confirmation which you're top to have self belief what you suspect.

The truth, the truth is the only thing that invalidates the existence of god.
Religionists and atheists both are based on the belief of god and no god. therefore the belief cannot be god. Man god and the world exist only when the mind exist. Therefore the man and his experience of the world and belief of god and no god is dependent on the mind for there existence. Therefore until and unless one discovers what is mind the truth cannot be reveled.

when people began asking questions about creation how it all works... the theories of evolution started popping up.. when the questions about god, as goodness began being asked.. the only thing in my mind was nature.. and nature does indeed fit that capability... but when these things come to us there is always a christian crying fowl until we must examine why ... when what is good seeks to answer does a christian seek to destroy it... the bible is a record of the battle between good and evil.. and all the answers of good keep getting silenced by the christian who hold their version of events on blind faith which is the requirement of ignorance.. and can only serve evil... when we get sick and tired of these christians manipulating us, our laws our societies and close our minds to their ignorant conclusions then perhaps we will be able to see what good was meant to be. and what truth we don't hear because of christianity

i used to thing there was no God b/c there is so much evil in the world and also just so i could keep sinning and doing what i wanted. Then after taking drugs and becoming suicidle from the depression i cried out to a God i didnt believe in and He healed me! all the telephone poles on the highway looked like crosses and i kept crying b/c i never believed before. Now I know why the Bible has been the #1 selling book for so long: There is a God. Jesus loves you

The god concept ITSELF is logically impossible, much like the existence of a three sided square.
