Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

What does it mean to live "the 'underconsumption' life"?

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

A rational person can easily refute a flat-earther argument that the surface of the Earth is not curved. For a flat-earther, however, his (or her) argument against a curved earth, is convincing.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?
