It's not that there's a reason to disbelieve in god, but that there's no reason to believe in god.
Modern Western logic began with Descartes and skepticism. Skepticism has been at the root of our knowledge gaining process ever since then.
Think of the following things:
Scientific method.
Presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Statistic (Null/Alternative hypothesis).
Occam's Razor
The consensus we've had over the past 200 years is that we believe in things, until they are proven. If they aren't we either don't believe in anything, or assume the most simple possibility.
Atheism isn't a BELIEF. It is a LACK of belief.
