I like to argue that a deity is not real because I see no logical proof of one. Until I am given proof I will believe my belief, their is no god, as it seems the most logical and that is that. You can not prove a negative, and there has yet to be any proof of the positive (there is a god). It's kinda like unicorns and other mythical creatures; it's a worldwide belief that they don't exist BECAUSE there is no proof.
