The one god that separates believers and atheists
Original: Out of all the gods that have ever been believed, theists and atheists disbelieve all the same gods except for one. —Tod
A remark circulating online points out that theists and atheists actually disbelieve in almost exactly the same set of gods from history — differing only on the one each theist still accepts. The observation is being shared as a concise framing of the atheist argument about selective belief, prompting familiar debates about faith, evidence and religion.
Why now: It is a catchy, shareable one-line argument in the ongoing online debate between believers and atheists.
