I am not defending or refuting anything here but will point out that atheism is a statement about something not existing. Proving something does not exist is a highly problematic exercise.
This feels like a framing problem. For me to think that my room isn’t full of apples, I don’t need to prove it isn’t full of apples, I just need to assign significantly higher probability to apples not bursting out of my windows.
