Straightforward Challenge

[acropolis]

In terms of philosophy, can anyone give an example of a claim more implausible and absurd than the claim to possess the knowledge that God does not exist?

These 'challenges' are so pointless. You believe something on faith, so no one is going to present something which convinces you otherwise. You're beliefs aren't based on evidence so evidence can't persuade you. But for the record it isn't absurd to not believe in that which has no tangible evidence, like invisible pink unicorns.

What can be asserted without evidence can be disregarded without evidence.

According to this site, it's the horn you have to watch out for:

Invisible Pink Unicorn (3.5e Deity)

Overdeity

• Divine Ranks: {{{DR}}}
• Home Plane: Marinara
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral
• Portfolio: Bringer of Law
• Clergy Alignments: Non-chaotic
• Domains: Charm, Law, Animal, Knowledge
• Favored Weapon: Spear or Javelin
• Description: The Invisible Pink Unicorn is both invisible and pink. It is common knowledge that she is pink, however, since no one has seen her, is presumed to be invisible.
• Dogma: The Invisible Pink Unicorn brought law and order to the Marinara plane with one stab of her horn.
• Clergy and Temples: Her followers are know as Ipunians, and are few/far between lands. Churches are typically adorned in pink decorations, with some decorations claiming to be "invisible".

There is even an entry for a Christian God:

God, Christian Faith (3.5e Deity) - D&D Wiki

(note that these pages only refer to characters for the D&D game, and may have little or no resemblance to any real deities)

Whilst trampelling on my head? Dude, I'm a sensitive.

That's an easy one: If someone claimed to possess the knowledge that water does not exist I would be speechless or at least a little dumbfounded and suspect that they belong in a mental institute.

The universe is pretty heavy duty evidence that antitheism may indeed be the farce.

Or theism may be. Let's see your hypothesis.

Why? While some non-believers may deny that the universe exists, I imagine that they are in the minority.

I haven't been paying attention. Has the OP explained why that's an absurd claim?

No.

That, it would appear, has not been so straightforward.
