Society and atheism have evolved throughout history and so have the standing and philosophical justification for atheism, and Epicurus (341-270 BC) was a materialist and probably the first atheist philosopher to develop the argument from evil.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then
he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? (where does evil come from?)
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
