But we ARE right and you know it ! The chances of a biblical god existing is literally zero . While the chances of no gods existing is as close to 100 % as makes no difference . And even if a god , or gods somehow DO exist and a scientific explanation for them would then be required there is no way this god , or these gods are in any way christian in nature . So yeah , we are right , in as far as fact and reason can be sure of something not existing . Do we allow for a 0 tel 0001 % chance we are wrong ? Yes indeed . The difference between atheists and religious people , is that if gods were proven to exist , atheists would instantly but rather grudgingly admit it , and adjust their reality accordingly . Whereas , if a christian god were proven not to exist forget how that ' s not possible this would have absolutely no effect on religious belief at all . One set of people is prepared to go with the facts , and the other is not . Those who accept facts are right to ridicule and belittle those who do not .
