Responding to New Atheists’ Non-belief Argument
It is often common to hear an atheist object to belief in God by saying they just don’t have a belief and are not required to advance any reasons for that view.
Here is how the question was asked: “I’ve grown frustrated with Atheists saying to me that they don’t have to give any arguments or evidence to support their view, because they are not making any claims. They have a “non-belief”. One atheist told me he is not required to provide evidence that there are no fairies living under his house either. This seems so cheap, so lame, yet I’m not sure how to make that obvious to them. What do you suggest? “
Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason offers a video response to this objection here.

They also are less likely to be affiliated than their parents’ and grandparents’ generations were when they were young. Fully one-in-four members of the Millennial generation – so called because they were born after 1980 and began to come of age around the year 2000 – are unaffiliated with any particular faith. Indeed, Millennials are significantly more unaffiliated than members of Generation X were at a comparable point in their life cycle (20% in the late 1990s) and twice as unaffiliated as Baby Boomers were as young adults (13% in the late 1970s). Young adults also attend religious services less often than older Americans today. And compared with their elders today, fewer young people say that religion is very important in their lives…..” More
