Prove to me, using the same "law and rules" that you use to declare that there is no God, that an Atheist is different than a Christian. In this context, a law or rule is something that is immutable. In other words, if the rule is in any way mutable, then it can't be used in the proof.
Atheists do not exist.

Don,
An atheist can not prove there is no God anymore than you can prove that their is.
What we try to do here is make viable cases for what we believe in. I don't believe either case, I believe in something different, but I can't prove it. But I can offer science that supports my claims: support not proof.
At the two extremes are those that have only the Bible to back their claims, which is not only NOT proof, it does not make a logical argument for their case, and those that deny any possible creation or design to the universe and offer nothing to back up such claims except that it could be all accidental. It could, but it might not be either.
If you want proof of the existence or non-existence of God then you're out of luck. If you have something verifiable that sheds light on the subject, then you have something worth debate.
To state that there is or is not a creator(s) is just projecting a belief. Stating that God is just like he is described in the Bible is no different that saying a creator(s) does not exist.
But to say that there may or may not be a creator(s)and offer something tangible that supports your case, while keeping an open mind, that is the road to enlightenment and does not compromise what you might "suspect" to be true in any way.
