Below are 10 big problem facing the atheist worldview held by most atheists in the Western World:
1. "Why is there something rather than nothing?" and the origin of the universe
See:
2. Uniqueness of earth (See: Privileged Planet)
4. Origin of the various types of plants and animals (see: Evolution and Creation science).
5. Origin of consciousness
The atheist worldview cannot explain the existence of consciousness and the theistic worldview can offer a reasonable explanation (see also: Atheism and irrationality).
6. Existence of logic (see: Atheism and logic and Atheism and presuppositional apologetics).
7. The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ (see: Historicity of Jesus and Christian apologetics and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and Christian legal apologetics).
8. When you compare the history of atheism vs. history of Christendom, Christianity has had a significantly more beneficial effect on humanity.
See:
- Triumph of the Gospel of Love by Themistocles Adamopoulo
9. Atheism cannot account for morality
See:
10. Most atheists are evolutionists and secular leftists (see also: Atheism and politics).
Secular leftism/progressivism has the narrative that human society is moving in a positive direction and making progress. According to this narrative, religion will pass away (see: Secularization thesis).
However, since the 1970s, religion and religious conservatism/fundamentalism has seen a surge in prevalence and irreligion/atheism has seen a decline in global market share (see: Desecularization and Global atheism statistics and Growth of evangelical Christianity).
In the 21st century, for a number of reasons, this trend is expected to continue and impact the Western World (see: Growth of global desecularization and Causes of desecularization).
