There is a great deal of difference in credibility between, say, Christianity and the ancient Greek religion. The problem of evil proves that Christianity is a lie, but does nothing to disprove the ancient Greek religion. In the ancient Greek religion, none of the gods are omnipotent, none are omniscient, and none are perfectly benevolent. So the ancient Greek religion, while still implausible and not worthy of serious consideration, is more plausible than Christianity.
