"i contend that we are both atheists.

i just believe in one fewer god than you do.

when you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why i dismiss yours.

People who "just know" that gods exist are like Ms J., a woman who just knows that George Clooney really loves only her. She is unable to say how she knows, beyond her claim that Clooney communicates with her by visions which she alone experiences. No invocation of logic or appeal to objectivity can sway the certainty of her "knowledge."
There are two arguments against the existence of gods that seem convincing to me. The first is an extension of Laplace's Retort. He famously answered Napoleon's question about the absence of gods from his work by saying "Je n'avais pas besoin de cette hypothese-la." (I had no need for that hypothesis.) In fact, today, in all the vast body of scientific, technical, engineering, and mathematical work which comprises our knowledge of the world, there is no need whatsoever to appeal to gods, and indeed, no such appeal occurs. As far as anybody can tell, gods are the very opposite of necessary.
Another powerful argument against the existence of gods is the utter absence of any unequivocal, empirical evidence for their existence. Such evidence exists for everything from apples to zebras, from cosmic background radiation to the Higgs boson, but not for gods. Why not?
Maybe because gods are like unicorns and leprechauns?
