→Atheism, arrogance, complacency and apathy
An excellent example of the complacency and unpreparedness of atheists is the debate between atheist [[Christopher Hitchens]] and [[William Lane Craig]]. The two debated at Biola University in 2009 in a videotaped debate.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KBx4vvlbZ8 Christopher Hitchens vs William Lane Craig - Does God Exist - 2009].</ref>

The atheist Luke Muehlhauser wrote concerning the Hitchens-Craig debate: "The debate went exactly as I expected. Craig was flawless and unstoppable. Hitchens was rambling and incoherent, with the occasional rhetorical jab. Frankly, Craig spanked Hitchens like a foolish child."<ref>[http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=1230#sthash.mPNNrzlt.dpuf The Craig-Hitchens Debate] by Luke Muehlhauser on April 4, 2009 in Debates,Reviews,William Lane Craig</ref> See also: [[Atheism and debate]]

As far as [[atheism debates]], although [[atheism|atheists]] commonly claim there are reasonable arguments for atheism, the quality of atheist debate has been quite poor from the proponents of atheism. See: [[Rebuttals to atheist arguments]]
