From my perspective, the argument for the existence of a god has always had one fatal flaw: in all of our human discoveries that were once attributed to a god or gods, none of them actually required a god to make them happen.
Is it possible that there is some kind of being that created our reality? Sure. But how do we recognize that? Where are the moments that only a god could accomplish? If we want to prove that God was responsible for an event, we must first consider if the event could happen without a god. Every time I have looked at a question from that perspective, no gods were required. That is why I do not believe.
For me, the main issue of being a believer or an atheist is the fact that we can’t even agree on what God actually is. Is it a bearded dude in the sky, is it the universe, is it an entity out of space and time, is it the friends we made along the way ?
That’s why I’m agnostic, you can’t be certain whether a God exists or not if you can’t define it. And in the end, it probably doesn’t even matter anyway, why would something like that even consider your existence.

If a being created everything, what created that being?
If that being sprang into existence, then it would be simpler for the universe to have sprung into existence without that extra step.
Oh I have theory that came to me in a dream. But it bat shit crazy. I need write it in a story then maybe it make sense.
