This is a very weak argument. You lay down the terms of a specific religion (in which god is perfectly moral and all-loving) then declare his non-existence based on that.There is evil and suffering in the world because there is no god (that is all loving, maximally good, perfectly moral and maximally knowledgeable and powerful).
I never understood how the existence of God would have any correlation to the existence of suffering. Why would humans make this bizarre assumption that just because he exists he's concerned with whether or not you have a tooth cavity?
The only consistent definition of God across different religions is omnipotence. Everything else is some quirky nuance probably unique to your local branch. IE in multiverse theory the lair containing unique universes with specified physical laws would be physically lawless and omnipotent itself therefore God/heaven. Is the multiverse concerned with your personal ailments?
I am curious about atheistic perspective on this issue.
I am sure it will make a lot of sense.

It's why people have lowered atheism to a mere ridiculous peer of other religions.
You find an inconsistency in your parents' hyperspecific interpretation of Christianity then God's non-existence is officially proven. lol.
Theres evil in the world because we need to survive no matter what.thats how evolution works.where born as predators in this world
There is because man's capacity for good is often out done by his capacity for evil.
That is the traditional conception of god which the majority of people believe in.
I cannot guess what silly idea of god you have, hence why I went with the traditional god of theism.

In my atheist days, I simply noted that while there is suffering, which results from evolutionary mechanisms that motivate gene survival machines being functional long enough to pass those genes on, there is no such thing as evil.I am curious about atheistic perspective on this issue.

Murderers and rapists get laid like gangbusters.You also won't get laid. Which is probably the strongest deterrent from acting on evil impulses.
