They are different, and yet ...
I see the leap of faith you describe as a yawning chasm. It's like the difference between "you've been dating someone for a year and they want to marry you, yes/no?" and "you signed up for a dating service and it says there's a good match for you, will you marry them yes/no?" I see the various religions asking me to believe in God as the latter. I don't have any reason to believe all the stuff in their holy texts is accurate depictions of real events. Hell, even THEY'll admit they don't have concrete proof. They just believe, and they want me to too. Well no thanks, I'll just find out when I die and if God exists and isn't a humongous dick then the worst I should get is Purgatory if I've been a decent guy. And if God is one, then I doubt my odds were too good anyway.
When I said "sufficient justification" I did so because if I'd said ANY justification then you could just point to the Bible. Fact is, you can't prove that any of the God-stuff happened. There is NOTHING you can honestly call "proof", otherwise religious people would be shutting up atheists left and right. It's all faith.

You can't say Hitler bears any responsibility for the murders the Auschwitz guard committed and then turn around and say God doesn't. At least, not without being a huge hypocrite.

Not my discussion, however I just wanted to point out that you are the second person to call him a hypocrite in this threa. The topics aren't even the same.
