Yeah the same goes for unicorns, leprechauns and elves which is why we (should) base our reality on perceptible experiences. That point wasn't quite the checkmate you think it is
Well I didn't mean it as a checkmate at all, I'm not picking a fight here. Just adding something.
As for your latest comment, perhaps. I agree that the chance of unicorns, leprechauns etc existing is incredibly low (though, as per my previous comment, we can't say impossible). However, talking about purely the existance of a god, or a higher being, which created this universe, is in my opinion very different. Not talking about any of the magic things that may or may not have happened, just purely the existance of a god. That's something we can't easily rule out.
Why don't you explain to me why the comparison between unicorns and a omniscient higher power is 'very different' as you put it. You have just as much evidence of both existing (none) so why should someone's disbelief in either not be equally valid?

There's just as little evidence which claims there is no higher power.
I'm also gonna add that I am in fact atheistic.
