Doing some independent research. If anyone has better questions let me know!

Why assume the religion?

Tried not to. I know God implies monotheism and the Michelangelo painting suggests Christianity but I hope people can look past that if they don't like it.

There is also a question about son of god.

True, my hope is people interpret the question in a more universal, symbolic way.

Do you understand that the three 'Religions of the Book' or 'The Abrahamic Religions' all refer to the exact same God, whether that God be called 'Yahweh', 'Allah' or 'The Trinity'.

The only difference between a Monotheist and an Atheist is the the Atheist disbelieves in just one more God than the Monotheist.

Why would a person believing in just one God be more correct than a person believing in many Gods? The more the merrier, right?

An atheist definitely doesn't believe in more gods than a monotheist.

You possibly meant some other kind of -theist?

No. He DISbelieves in one more God than a Monotheist.

The Monotheist believes in one God (usually 'Yahweh, or 'Allah' or 'The Trinity'). But he disbelieves in all the Roman Gods, the Greek Gods, the Hindu Gods, the Persian Gods, the Aztec Gods, etc, etc. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that our Monotheist disbelieves in 205 'other Gods'. Our Atheist can disbelieve in 206 Gods, one more than our Monotheist disbelieves in.

Hmm. I don't know whether you edited your comment or I misread it, but I was sure you said "the Atheist believes in just one more God than the Monotheist"

The difference though I think is at the core: the monotheist believes in the concept of a god, they just believe the others that people worship are false gods.

The atheist doesn't believe in the concept of a god at all.
