Do atheists have any evidence to support their beliefs?

You make it sound like not believing in stuff that's unconvincing is some radical approach to life. Not sure why - you keep alluding to assertions you're making without explaining the thinking behind them. That in itself is pretty curious.

However, without God (atheistic perspective), every person is the sole arbiter of what's right, meaning no one can actually be wrong, even ISIS.
Speaking of illogical, this is a logical fallacy known as an argument from consequence.

I merely explore the rationale of atheism if it were true through reason, as did others including atheists of the past.
Atheism is the dismissal of the man-made claim that God exist; nothing more. You want proof of atheism? The fact that I dismissed your claims of God is absolute PROOF that atheism is real and true.

Under God every person is the sole artiter of what's right as well! What's the difference?

Reason is, atheism cannot account for good and evil, but Christianity can.
Atheism accounts for nothing; but individual atheists DO account for good and evil.

... but individual atheists DO account for good and evil.
And its absolutely trivial: Good are those things that facilitate a flourishing life; Evil is that which impedes a good life; neutral things are those that have no effect.

Simple. Accounted for.

Oh. Why? Because shtuff happens.

Those aren’t evidence. They are examples of an Argument from Incredulity...
