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?

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.

Question: 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

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?
