Why not go one god further? There is no proof of any religion being truer or more likely than another, just blind belief, denying reason and logic.
Christians will say that other religions are nonsense, without realizing that their own religion is just as weird, make-believe, and unprovable.

It's like a baby who only likes his own baby blanket, even though there are millions of others.

Okay, first off atheist means that you do not believe in a god. plain and simple. christians believe in a god, so they are not AT ALL atheists. buddists arent atheists, mormons arent atheists. not even one percent.
what you call blind belief is actually faith. And to address your statement about there is no proof of one religion being "truer" than another, that is also false. so which is more likely to be true, a religion that has been around for thousands of years, has countless prophecies that have been fulfilled, and had multiple thousands of year old books from around the globe to testify that the stories of this one religion are true- OR- the "religion" that a 45 yr. old man came up with on his 40th birthday that everyone should worship this chocolate cake that is free of baking soda and told him when the world would end. assess the information provided, and give me a reasonable answer as to which would be more likely to be true. oh- and just in case you cuoldnt tell, i am a christian.

Actually that is incorrect. Even the Bible talks about other gods. The thing you must remember is that there is only one True God, Creator of the universe and everything in it. The Bible even calls Satan "the god of this world". Whatever a person worships in life -money, idols, fame etc- is their god.
As for proof, there is an abundance. The problem is that people such as yourself simply refuse to even look at it or study it. Therefore, who is the one that is illogically participating in a blind faith? Is it not the one who refuses to even consider the evidence? The Bible commands us to test all things and to examine all things. God isn't afraid He'll be caught off guard. Atheists adamantly claim there is no God. Yet this is completely illogical and done in blind faith -not to mention sinful pride, the sin of Satan. The hypothesis of evolution is what takes blind faith, since even its "scientists" claim it is based on conjecture, assumptions and their own personal bias, not scientific proof.

An "atheist" by definition is someone who denies the existence of any supreme being/god. Anyone who believes in God or a god is not considered to be athiest. God defies logic in the interest of faith - if one does not have true faith then it isn't something they can understand. Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean it isn't real.

It may look fake to you because you're blind to God. If you need proof then take a look at how historically accurate the Bible is. Archeologists are constantly finding evidence to Biblical events. Even Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs coincide and prove many of the Bible's happenings.
BTW Why do you believe in the Theory of Evolution? No evidence has ever surfaced to prove that Evolution has ever happened. No evidence has ever surfaced to prove that we evolved from monkeys.

All creations are God's creations. God gave freewill to people. The freewill is utilized through many and misued through more desirable. In god's view all are one. No distinction to him. utilising the freewill some are worshipping and some are opposing God. God is suitable to each and every thing created if the god did not supply freewill and questioning ability. Opposing God and talking atheism isn't new. it really is a continuous procedure from the first yuga.

If one believes in one God he can't believe in the ones made up. By your logic he's an atheist. Better get your facts straight as to what an atheist is.

This is a pretty dumb argument. On a purely mathematical basis, you could say that if there are an infinite number of possible gods, and you only belive in one of them, then you essentially believe in 0% of gods, thereby making you an atheist.
But what would be the point of that?

Atheism denies that any god exist.
For example, One can deny that allah exist but believe in Jesus as God. And not be an Atheist.

Christians aren't 1% believers, they're 100% believers.

All religions of a spiritual nature are creations of man. To worship a God one is worshiping the man who created the God.
