          You don't need to "argue against" theism in order to be atheist. Not believing it is enough to fit the definition.

          You don't, no, but that is what someone who does that is. They may not be against god- beliefs. Just think untrue.

          There are certainly many atheists who lack any good reasons for being such. @HPluckrose @IronPill87

          Well, you think a god is real. If you're right, there is no good reason for disbelieving in gods.

          That's some top-tier narcissism to assume you know for sure the role of a god in the universe.
