Just a couple of observations:

The same atheists who are intolerant of the Biblical G-d are big fans of the religions of "indigenous pipples." In fact, one of the arguments the atheists use is "chrstianity destroyed thousands of beautiful precious indigenous religions!" Which, I assume, means that if there had been atheists back then they would have formed a Wall Of Human Flesh to protect the shamans and witch doctors. I also assume (from the way they argue this) that they'd gladly bring every one of those extinct religions back, which would actually make more "idiotic, bigoted, unenlightened" religions in the world, not fewer.

I notice that both sides of the G-d argument seem to assume that the whole issue revolves around chrstianity; ie, an argument for G-d is an argument for chrstianity while an argument against chrstianity is an argument against G-d. How many "atheists" are actually rebellious former chrstians pitching a tantrum against the way they were raised?

That’s interesting that you point that out that atheists, while very intolerant of Christianity, are much more tolerant of other religions. There is a guy on Youtube who I watch who does travel vlogs in Asian countries. He’s a communist (one of those types who thinks communism would work if done right, you know?) and atheist, but his travel vlogs are often well done, and I like seeing countries I don’t have the ability or means to visit right now. I have watched him travel around China, Taiwan, and a bit of Japan. One thing he visits is a lot of the temples. He’s overall very respective of the religions like Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Hinduism. However, he seems to have much more disdain and a lack of respect for Christianity. He also thinks nothing of using God’s name in vain. He rarely visits churches, but the few times he has or has passed one, he is often disrespectful. Atheists and liberals seem to have a hatred for Christianity that they don’t have for other religions.
