Permit me to suggest that you re-read the atheist position, which I
have described just above this. It is NOT a statement that I know
there is no god. I can't know that any more than you can know there is
one. It is the altogether more rational statement that there is no
evidence to suggest there is one.
Like all religious people, in the absence of actual argument, you
resort to distortion and lies about the reasoned arguments of the
opposition. Your second false argument is that because lots of people
believe there is a god, it must be true. Your third is the "wishful
thinking" false argument. I'll leave you to work that out.
In short, never try to defend religion by reason. It won't work. Do
yourself the honour of calling it faith - an unreasoned, evidence-free
belief. This is a good definition of the word gullibility.
