Crazy part about posting a link like this is the believers mostly wont dare read it in fear of having a second thought.
Well first of all, I'm not a christian or a follower of any religion so defending christian beliefs is not my forte, but in the first proof he offers for 1.Try Praying he says " If the Bible is literally true, than something is seriouslly amiss." Of course it is amiss, the only people who take the Bible literally are atheists and some wingnut christians. You won't find many religious scholars who take it literally but that doesn't mean there isn't some good lessons and the odd direction on finding your god in it.

for reference
1. I don't pray

2. ditto

3. I don't have any historical god, mine is in the present.

4. I dont have any conflict between science and god and don't have any particular interest in miracles.

5. I don't read the Bible, although I have read it, as it's part of any good education.

6. God's plan, hmm, I don't think about it as I'm trying to stay in the present.

7. I don't believe in fairy tales or any other stories that try to prove god's existence.

8. I havn't had any near death experiences and so don't base any of my experience on them.

9. Ambiguity, as I said i don't pray.

10. Money is needed for any organization but as I said, I dont' pray.

11. So

12. I don't believe in magic

13, 14, 15 etc. and on and on it goes, mostly attacking christianity and other organized religions mistaken beliefs but it doesn't prove an absence of god.

To be fair my belief in god ( you could also call it peace, love, energy etc.) is based on personal experience and not on any book or teaching. I don't even call it a belief, it's an experience. It's like do I believe I have hands that are typing this out or is it more than that. I do have hands, so it's more than a belief.
