I am Atheist now, I am also an Ex-Catholic.
So Instead of being biased, I went to look at both sides of this argument. I got motivational quotes from both Atheists and Christians/Religious People. And it was shocking.
The Best Atheist Quotes:

"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able?
Then He is no omnipotent.
Is he able but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither ablenor willing?
Then why call him God."
~Epicurus.

"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes"

"Man created God in his image : intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent."

"Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions"
Okay so heres this part.
All the above quotes were by some of the smartest people who ever lived. The best philosophers, scientists ect.
But yet when I come to the Christian side, I find that 99% of the quotes are taken directly from a 2000 year old book which people call the bible. Or some cheesy ass shit like this:

"Our Lord has written the promise of ressurection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." ~ Martin Luther
So tell me, How come nearly every famous scientist that has ever lived has been atheist? And that normal Religious people cannot come up with faults in Atheism?
This is the shit that turned me Atheist.
Thank you for Reading.

The air we breathe cannot be seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched, yet it most certainly exists. The force of gravity cannot be seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched, yet we know that it exists. Emotions, values, beliefs, and thoughts cannot be found by using any of our senses, yet they are as real as rocks or trees. Emotions can be "felt", but this feeling is not physical. Thus, simply because something cannot be found through the use of the five senses does not mean that it does not exist.
The difference being all those have been proven using some basis of science, and science cannot prove God. Thanks for trying though

Air- I just inhaled and felt oxygen of a different temperature enter my nose and into my lungs, therefore I just felt air
Gravity- I just picked up my laptop, I felt its weight because of the gravity that is present.
Emotions- Ever had that sinking feeling in your stomach when you're really nervous...is that not physical enough for you?

Science is not about proving things. It never has been, and it never will be. Instead, science is about observing the Universe around us and using those observations to try to understand how the Universe works. This understanding is always subject to change no matter how confident we are.
The world cannot move forward until religion is put behind us. If we choose to accept our reason for being here in a book and obscure history references then we cannot continue to ask the question and try and answer the question of our existence, and the world around us
So why try and prove that there is a God with dated and let's face it, crazy information and documentation. You're really only holding yourself back from a world of wonder and questions unanswered. Instead of believing one thing only and basing the whole of your life on that (because you haven't got a finite capacity to be able to compensate the many many answers our existence could hold) and just follow the religion of ''I don't know, but i'm trying my best to find out''
