Fanatics have behaviour problems. They are sick.

There are about 1000 gods. Is that evidence against God?

Priests and the government, parents and teachers, tell them so. Problematic behaviours. All of them.

It's only highly improbable that how we choose to conceive of God falls far short of the actuality of such an inexplicable existential possibility as the great mystery source, sustenance, and purpose of all that is (God). Because there is no logical correlation between the inaccuracy of our various conceptions of God, and the probable existence of God, itself. A point that atheists persistently ignore.
For me it is a matter of being able to objectively determine which is the right god(s).
You can believe in whatever god you choose. Whichever you feel is correct. Feelings however are not objective evidence of being correct. So I have not checked out every god, but I have checked out many gods. Every one of them felt correct.
Feelings are an internal experience. There is no denying that we feel what we feel. So I find any god I choose to believe in can feel correct. Based on feelings, any god is as correct as any other god. The only real difference is our choice in what to believe in.
I'm not an atheist because I did not find god. I found many gods. Each felt to me as correct as the next. I decided that if there was a god, my feelings could not be relied on to determine which god is correct.
Taking my feelings out of the equation, I found there was no way to objectively determine which god, religion or concept of god is correct.
Then best not to believe in a god because belief, faith really, causes these feelings, and hey, they are good feelings and even experiences of an actual relationship with any god you decide to place faith in.
The god you have faith in does not have to be true to create these feelings. The feeling of being in a relationship with a god or gods is possible regardless of which god or gods you choose to believe in.
So your feeling right about your god is possible with any god. What god you believe in doesn't really matter.
Does this mean there is no God? No. It means that whatever the truth is, is irrelevant to your beliefs and feelings.

All deities do not exist as real to the five senses. So far I've seen at least on RF god can be an experience, practice, incarnation, actually bodies of nature, mystical experience, things people label as gods.
Those gods that are like Athena and vampires going after the gods of Star Trek, I don't believe exist.
I "think" that's what atheist mean by gods. They all in the same mythology camp. Whether that is good or bad many pagans tend to say existence is what is whether mythology or not. Aka. who cares?
But experiences do exist. Nature does. Sacraments of various religions exist. Culture, language, and theology differ. Not god. Human nature.

Thats a very common argument, but a seriously childish one in my opinion. An atheist claiming that theists are atheists to some other theisms is ignorance of the meaning of atheism itself.
Religious atheistic evangelists use this apologetic dogmatically like a mantra.

Absoltely I can. Here's the calculous. Is the number of people worshipping the sun as a god superior to one? The answer is yes, thus the sun is a god to those people. Would ou rather I present you the calculous in the form of a formula or a formal sylogism?

The only religious method that I know of is:
Make up some nonsense.
Believe in it really hard.
Threaten those that do not agree with you.
How does that help?

I believe the null hypothesis is difficult to prove unless one can show that something should happen but hasn't happened. That is not the case with God. If they say it should have happened that he was invented like pagan gods or might have existed by people called gods. It is illogical. It is reasoning from the general to the detail which is fallacious reasoning.

There is no "Atheist Method". This has been explained to you many times. Why repeat a falsehood. Some religions have rules about bearing false witness against your neighbor.

I believe along with probabilities there are also exceptions. It was probable at age 75 getting the Covid-19 would kill me but I was an exception because God intervened and made it go away.
