Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

For some atheists, however, the argument is 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.
