    It may also be the case that there is no god. I have yet to see sufficient evidence supporting the existence of one.

    The idea of atheism is just as pointless as theism. Its[sic] like being a hater just because you want to be a hater.

    The analogy suggests there is no reason for being atheistic–for not believing in things for which no good evidence exists.

    If your default position is to believe in things without evidence, one would have to somehow believe everything to be logically consistent. But believing everything means believing contradictory things which is also logically inconsistent. So one has to arbitrarily choose what to believe despite having no reason to do so or realize that believing in things with no supporting evidence isn’t rational.
