Atheism is a disbelief in transcendent that there is no God and religion, widely accepted by youngsters due to the extensive access to social media. In response to the book written by Armin Navabi, an atheist (apostate in Islam) entitled “Why There Is No God: Simple Responses to Common Arguments for The Existence of God”, this article aims to analyze and refute the statements of the writer on the nonexistence of God. This study used content analysis with divinity as the theme to discuss three primary topics that cause objections to the religious affiliation among atheists. Atheist affirms God's non-existence due to unconformity of scientific evidence rather than accepting that there is more in the world than is disclosed by science. They over-claimed that the holy Qur’an is written by the pious, which refuted by scientific findings that proved the facts written in the Holy Quran. The wisdom behind the occurrence of events is for humans to use the intellectual capacity given to them.
