Likewise the claim that God has failed to provide enough evidence to convince people he exists can be discredited (but not disproved) by demonstrating that the reality is that many people do find that there is enough evidence. It doesn't prove that the evidence is correct, but may well show that if it were correct that it was sufficient.
Sadly, people often accept as evidence: intuitions, hearsay, emotional reactions, authority. The standards for evidence are so low that only a very sloppy god could fail to provide adequate evidence for all to believe in him.

Satan must chortle since even a single soul lost to God is a measure of winning for him. That God has knowingly given up on 3/4 of all people who will ever have lived, the decision in the Cosmic war must go to Satan.

Yup Satan is definately winning. If this were a boxing match, I'd probably score every round so far 10-7 or better for Satan. Maybe if he keeps this up, he can win by KO/TKO :)
