"Atheism, despite whatever Sartwell says, is eminently rational. We see no
evidence for any gods, much less the Abrahamic gods. There are thousands of
different religions, each with adherents believing different tenets that are
incompatible with those of other faiths. What is the justification for belief in
such a case?

If you’re a Pentecostal Christian, you think you’ll go to hell
unless you accept Jesus as your personal savior. If, on the other hand, you’re a
Muslim, you’ll go to hell if you believe that! That, my
friends, is faith."

There is no more evidence for any of the man-made gods than there is for a spaghetti monster! The very detailing of these contrived tribal leaders immediately eliminates them from the rational because contradictions, absurdities, and racial interests are immediately obvious!!

The idea of a "god" is not irrational in contemplation. But there has never been a single jot of evidence to support such an incredible idea as an ultimate being--certainly not one who is thinking" about YOU, "2MAR$!!!
