you can’t prove that no god exists, but there are a lot of proofs that the christian god cannot possibly exist.
and it’s important to remember: a christian is only one god less atheist than you. they need to prove zeus, shiva, quetzocoatl, and loki don’t exist or their religion is just nonsense.

I agree 100% with the latter part of that statement.
But it’s not up to anyone to prove that something does not exist. It’s entirely up to the person making the claim that gods do exist, to provide the evidence.
At that point, you’d be able to either validate the evidence or prove it to be wrong.
The problem with any religion is that it’s based on faith. And what is faith? The belief in something without evidence that it exists. 🫢
Don’t waste your time even worrying about religion. Life’s too short for that nonsense.

well ‘god’ is a pretty nebulous term. the olympian gods, you can disprove most of them with a satellite photo or a helicopter. the norse gods are a little harder to disprove. the christian god is pretty easy to disprove.
It is true that nobody should have to worry about proving negatives on people’s obviously made up fairlytale bullshit. it is sometimes fun to point out that if you define your god sufficiently, it can be and has been done.
and I would love to not worry about religion, but im queer and live in the united states, so I need to be pretty on my toes about that shit if I don’t want to be raped to death in a very pretty building/strip mall.
