As an atheist, but one who practises _some_ form of religion (namely schooling myself in and practising Zen X(not necessarily buddhism but borrowing heavily from it)), and back to the original question.
I use no razor to decide for me, I look around.
A miracle without any _solid_ evidence for it's creation.
Miracle: 1 - A wonder or wonderful thing. 2 - An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature.
Theists take this miracle and wrap one or more miracles around it. The miraculous God or Gods (how many invisible men in the clouds to you like pulling levers in the heavens?) of creation and potentially control, who, or whom, sit up on their interstellar clouds perfoming this miracle and that, keeping their creation in check.
For me, the best option when faced with a lack of evidence is not to answer.
The original moment of creation for _this_ universe is held to be the big bang, what created the mass that bigly banged in the first place?
I cannot say, but it is my firmly held belief that everything since can be explained by cause and effect.
