Such is the title of a YouTube video and a certain @irrelevant_noob was kind enough to time-stamp the supposed myths that were allegedly debunked:
0:26 1. Atheism is a belief system
1:39 2. Atheists have no morals
2:00 3. Atheists think that everything is random
4:07 4. Atheism makes people feel like life is meaningless, and may even lead to Nihilism
4:37 5. Atheists are unhappy people
6:29 6. Atheists hate God
7:25 7. Atheism is just another religion
8:16 8. Atheists can’t explain miracles
8:43 9. Atheists are closed-minded
9:07 10. Atheists don’t exist
I, @user-oq9hn7qk4j, replied
Atheism is a belief system: indeed, even Richard Dawkins references an Atheistic world-view since Atheism is a core and infects all which it touches so it becomes a “belief system.”
Atheists have no morals: all they have is morals since morals refers to the mores which are mere descriptions of whatever accidentally existing apes just so happen to be doing.
Atheists think that everything is random: “everything” in terms of that everything is a byproduct of an accident so that, for example, even if an individual Atheist makes a decision, that decision is just the byproduct of an accidental mixture of accidental chemicals within an accidentally existing brain functioning as per the accidental laws of accidental physics.
“Atheism makes people feel like life is meaningless, and may even lead to Nihilism”: indeed, such is why Atheists adhere to the consoling delusion of subjective meaning in an objectively meaningless existence.
“Atheists are unhappy people”: I guess happy is as happy does so, what does that even mean?
“Atheists hate God”: well, of course, just listen to them for five minutes.
“Atheism is just another religion”: indeed, according to some Atheists such as Micheal Newdow.
“Atheists can’t explain miracles”: well, they could explain actual ones as the work of God but there are many levels of, sorts of, explanations.
“Atheists are closed-minded”: individual Atheist may not be but their dogmatheism is thought restricting by definition.
“Atheists don’t exist”: well, they exist but have to work hard at it.

My life as an atheist is exponentially better than my life as a Christian.
“Better” is entirely subjective.
My life is better by my own experiences. That’s all that matters.
My life, is not spent being miserable, depressed, suicidal or mired in self loathing and hypocrisy.
That’s “better” .
Atheism only speaks to not be leaving in any gods, nothing else.
We all make meaning and purpose in our lives. We all have capacities to judge what is better for ourselves and for the people around us with standards that we choose.
We don’t have to have them imposed upon us from an ancient book of fables or a group of authoritarians.
@user-oq9hn7qk4j
Perfectly said, “‘Better’ is entirely subjective” on your world-view so you just make up stuff, slap the label “better” on it and then emotively subjectively merely authoritatively assert, “My life is better” which collapses your entire point.
So, when you come to merely asserting, “That’s ‘better’” I have to tap you on the shoulder and remind you that, “Better’ is entirely subjective.”
As for, “Atheism only speaks to not be leaving in any gods, nothing else” well, that’s tragically jejune since it’s a world-view–as Richard Dawkins has noted.
I also see you’ve taken on one of Atheisms’ consoling delusions: the delusion of subjective meaning in an objectively meaningless existence. But isn’t it that case that “meaning” is entirely subjective? Well, sure since you asserted, “We all make meaning and purpose in our lives.”
Indeed, on your view, “We all have capacities to judge what is better for ourselves and for the people around us with standards that we choose” and so Joseph Stalin made that emotively subjective judgment and those Atheist like him decided to wipe out some 200,000,000 people in mere decades–and on Atheism, there’s literally nothing wrong with that and, in fact, it was a good thing since it rid us of less fit people and feed up lots of resources for the more fit.
“ancient book”: genetic fallacy. Is there anything wrong with committing logical fallacies, on your world-view?
“of fables”: merely asserted positive affirmation.
a group of authoritarians”: but on your world-view, that group (which group?) judged what is better for themselves and for the people around them and since all is subjective then you disqualified yourself from complaining about it since you debunked yourself.
That brought the discussion to an end as no more replies were forthcoming.
