The presumption is always that X doesn't exist; hence the absence of
convincing arguments against the existence of X is in no way evidence
that X exists.

The premise must be the non-existence of god, and so far as I know there
are not only no argumenents against that premise, there are no arguments
of any weight to the effect that one should even consider the arguments
for the existence.

Just because there is a tradition that a one-ton invisible green frog
crouches in my living room is no sign I should bother to listen to
arguments that such does exist.

The only acceptable premise for any argument as to the existence of god
is the non-existence of god; hence all arguments for god are incoherent.
