If I'd said that atheist never get depressed, then yes the facts would be against me. But I specifically stated that was not what I'm saying. Pointing out atheists who experience depression and assuming it is their atheism that's making them depressed is like pointing out that most people who commit violent crimes have at some time in their lives eaten a pickle and assuming that eating pickles makes one predisposed to violence.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
