And Buddisam isnt a relgion, so of course it doesnt subscirbe to my God. Not just my God but any God at all. since why its not a religion .Juddisam is much more spreaded trought the world than hinduisam,  and that all 3 abrahamic religions believe in the same God, thats was my whole point.

Did you understand my post? I'm not interested in debating the definition of religion. You asserted that most people believe in a God, and that God is the same God, just with different stories. I have tried to show in previous posts that this was false for two reasons:

1. Most of the world doesn't subscribe to the Abrahamic God,

2. Population sizes don't count when assessing the credibility of a God's existence objectively.

Now what I've shown is that simply is that number one is valid, as over 3 billion people in the world reject the Abrahamic God. Whether Buddhism is a religion or a philosophy is completely irrelevant to my argument, the bottom line is that they are half a billion people who do not subscribe to the Abrahamic God.

The same with Hinduism. Hinduism counts as over a billion people who reject the idea of the Abrahamic God. Whether they are a worldwide organisation or not doesn't matter, the point is that they don't subscribe to the Abrahamic God. I don't care if Jewish people are spread out worldwide, I'm not interested in debating that as it's completely irrelevant; the fact is that there is vastly more Hindus than Jews.

Either way population sizes wouldn't matter when looking at the credibility of a personal God. Whether it is Yaweh or Thor, the playing field is level.

you said ''most people are atheists to all Gods but one, but some of us just go one God further". I understood that you were talking about religions only because you said '' most people are atheists to all Gods but one'' and buddisam is not a religion so it doesnt fit into a group of people that are atheists to all Gods but one because they dont even have a God to begin with. And plus, i even said i was talking about Abrahamic religions only (which members are in THE MAJORITY in the world btw) so why you brought up the buddisam in the first place is beyond me.

 

I knew i sholdn ask that question.

That quote is actually a famous quote from Richard Dawkins, and I used it because it illustrates well one of the reasons that I am an atheist, it's not supposed to be taken a literally as that, I can apply the same quote to people who have many Gods. There are a lot of personal God(s) that people claim exist, I just don't think a personal God is worth believing in. Even so your claim after this was "But all people believe in the same God. (im talking about 3 major non-pagan religions) They just have diffrent cultures and diffrent book and worhsip him in the other way."

Now I showed two things to counter this point...

1. Not every non-pagan believes in the Abrahamic God, in fact many of them don't in the order of billions. This contradicts your use of the word "all", and saying that only the 3 Abrahamic religions count doesn't add anything I'm afraid as the world of non-pagans extends way past these.

2. Population sizes don't matter anyway. I can have 99% of the world accept something, but it doesn't make it correct. It may supersede my first point, but it's true.

Now you seem to be obsessing over making me define what a religion is, even though it does not effect my argument in anyway . I keep repeating myself now, but whether Buddhism is a religion or not it doesn't matter because it is still half a billion non-pagans who don't subscribe to the Abrahamic God.

Even so, let's get down to the bottom line of my point. What makes the Abrahamic God more valid than all other Gods?
