There isn't any deistic argument that can refute atheism simply because both are belief systems at their core revolving around unprovable. On practical ground level stripped out of all mysticism, Christianity has massive advantage over atheism in that its advocates can simply point out its belief system enables constructing culturally and technologically advanced civilizations which endure hundreds of years. Likewise it's worthwile pointing out that any self-described atheist society declines rapidly into primitive personality cults (cue Mao, Lenin, Stalin...) which are proven to be short-lived and destructive on populations which take that bait, and if they survive transform into political religions anyways (China is still officially building communism).
