    We can know that certain gods are false simply because they are logically incoherent, but sure, the non falsifiable concepts are simply that, non falsifiable. I’m atheist because I don’t believe in a god, not necessarily because I believe any specific god doesn’t exist.

    I’m with you that putting others down for their beliefs is cringy, but we shouldn’t pretend that having a belief in a god without evidence to back it up is reasonable. There absolutely is a way to know a creator exists, and if they’re powerful enough to create the universe, they know exactly how to demonstrate that.

      I don’t think it needs to be reasonable if it gives them comfort in life and i don’t pretend it is. I just think they’re allowed the right to have that thought and defend it if they choose.

      But I don’t think it’s guaranteed to think a creator would want to be known. Maybe the concept of god had motive to stay unnoticed. We’d never know. The mystery is the fun, not the moral superioriterino.
